# data[].attributes.body
With an aging population in Singapore, there are lesser young adults to help build and continue Singapore's economy in the future. This also means that Singapore's economy and infrastructure will not be able to prosper. Singapore will also not have a strong military defense as there will be lesser young adults to help protect the country from any threats or war. Therefore, aging population in Singapore is a challenging and tough issue that the country is currently facing.
