Describe why an aging population has caused a shortage of workers in Singapore.

History

goldfiish [28.3K]3 years ago
7 0

Answer:

First of all, this issue of ageing workforce is not unique to Singapore. From various published reports we know for a fact that the world’s population as a whole is ageing - and this is true of the Asia region too. Today Asia accounts for one-half of the world’s older population.

By 2050 this is set to increase to two-thirds. By every measure, Japan has the oldest population - not just in Asia, but globally. Singapore is not far behind with ageing populations on a par with Europe where the challenge of the ageing population is widely recognised and hotly debated.

With the highest median ages, longest life expectancy rates and among the lowest fertility rates in the region, Singapore is already facing the immediate challenges of declining populations and talent shortages.

At current birth rates and without immigration, Singapore’s citizen population will start to age and shrink. Between 2011 and 2030, the median age of the citizen population will rise from 39 years to 47 years.

PLEASE HELP ME THIS IS TIMED I NEED HELP QUICK! Select one civilization you learned about during the semester. Write an essay in
9966 [12]

Answer:

Explanation:

The Roman civilization (Ancient Rome) arose from a small agricultural community founded in the Italian peninsula, city of Rome, in the tenth century BC (according to tradition in 753 BC) located on the shores of the Mediterranean Sea became one of the greatest empires of the ancient world.

Rome was a monarchy. Later (509 BC) was a Latin Republic, and in 27 a. C. became an empire. The period of greatest splendor of Roman culture is known as Roman Pax (Roman Peace), due to the relative state of harmony that prevailed in the regions that were under Roman rule, a period of order and prosperity that met the Empire under the dynasty of the Antonines (96-192 AD) and, to a lesser extent, the Severians (193-235 AD). It marked the golden age of the West and the awakening of the East.

In its centuries of existence, the Roman civilization passed from a monarchy to an oligarchic republic and then to an increasingly autocratic empire that added many territories through conquest and cultural assimilation. The Romans came to dominate in their heyday from Britain, the Sahara desert and from the Iberian Peninsula to the Euphrates, causing an important cultural flourishing in each place where he ruled

Rome was plagued by internal instability and attacked by several migrant barbarian peoples that detached the western part of the empire where independent barbarian kingdoms were founded in the 5th century, including in Italy, Hispania, Gaul, Britannia and Africa.

The Eastern Roman Empire, which was ruled from Constantinople, comprising Greece, the Balkans, Asia Minor, Syria and Egypt, survived this crisis. Despite the subsequent loss of Syria and Egypt due to the power of the Islamic Arab empire, the Eastern Roman Empire survived almost a millennium more compared to the Western Roman Empire, until its last remnants were finally annexed by the Turkish Ottoman Empire that emerged as a power in the eastern region. This Eastern Christian empire of the medieval period is usually known as the Byzantine Empire by historians.

Roman civilization is often grouped into "classical antiquity", with ancient Greece, a civilization that inspired much of the culture of ancient Rome. Ancient Rome contributed greatly to the development of legal science (law), war, art, literature, architecture, technology, religion and language in the Western world, and its history continues to have a great influence on the today's world

List four reasons why you wouldn’t want to be a Roman prisoner. What would be your fate?
Anastasy [175]
1. The conditions were terrible. They would be living in cells with ten other people and wouldn't even have bathrooms or anything similar or would barely even have food and they would sit down in chains and get beaten by soldiers or would easily get killed or would spread diseases due to the lack of hygiene or even worse.

2. You would often get mutilated. According to many Roman laws, you would often have to pay the price in flesh fort things that you do. For example, if you're a thief or similar you could get your hand cut off or you could get your eyes poked out or similar things. This also included torture which could even result in death.

3. You could become a gladiator. Gladiators were forced to fight other people for the entertainment of people and politicians in giant arenas. You would win or you would die, and even if you won you could get killed for not being entertaining enough. Sometimes you would have to fight wild and starving animals such as lions or tigers.

4. Any type of insurrection would result in your death. If you even tried to appeal or have the sentence changed or removed or anything similar you could get killed as punishment or severely beaten and mauled. If you tried to get other prisoners to fight together for better conditions you would all get killed.
