According to the latest numbers from the Department of Statistics (DOS), Singaporeans are now expected to live longer, with a life expectancy of 83.9 years in 2025. Residents aged 65 in 2025 are expected to live to 86.6 years, according to DOS’s preliminary data.
Director for social sciences at A*STAR Institute for Human Development and Potential Jean Yeung said the increase in life expectancy in 2025 is modest but meaningful. “The key challenge is no longer simply extending lifespan, but extending healthy lifespan and maintaining quality of life in later years,” she said.
