         <description><![CDATA[<p>The passage discusses the challenges Singapore faces due to its ageing population. By 2030, the percentage of seniors will more than double, while the working-age population will decline. This will increase demands on government funding for healthcare and social services.</p><p><br/></p><p>With a life expectancy of nearly 85 years, Singapore has already tripled its healthcare expenditure to ensure quality and affordable care. However, fewer working adults supporting more elderly people will lead to higher financial burdens, lower productivity, and slower economic growth. If this trend continues, Singapore may struggle to sustain its resources and provide adequate care for its ageing population.</p>]]></description>
