Singapore Salaried Workers Urged to Extend Careers as Men at 65 Face 19.9 More Years

Singapore workers are being urged to treat career longevity as a retirement strategy, with salaried employees told to learn from entrepreneurs how to stay economically active longer.
19.9 more years for men and 23.1 for women at age 65 in 2025 sharpen the need to save and invest enough to cover longer retirements.
Stable employment still matters because income from work is described as a core building block for accumulating retirement savings and investments over time.
The message broadens retirement planning beyond portfolio returns, framing longer working lives and sustained earning power as central to financial adequacy.
