And in terms of social and emotional well-being, lifelong learning provided opportunities to make new friends and expand social circles.<\/p>\n<p>Earlier studies commissioned by the <em>Ministry of Community Development, Youth and Sports<\/em> indicated that actual participation among older adults in Singapore was quite low, with only 11.1% reported to have attended or likely to take up learning courses. This study reveals that this percentage will likely trend upwards as Singapore\u2019s population ages.<br \/>\nOlder adults in Singapore are increasingly finding it necessary to pursue lifelong learning in order to stay relevant in their jobs, as well as for non-economic reasons such as \u2018building capacity for the benefit of the self, the family and the community\u2019.<\/p>\n<p>Read the full article <a href=\"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1016\/j.socscimed.2018.08.021\">here<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Associate Professor Leng Leng Thang (NUS Department of Japanese Studies), Emily Lim (PhD Student, University of Massachusetts, Boston), and Sophie Li-Shan Tan (University of Melbourne) explore the connections between \u2018Lifelong learning\u2019 and \u2018Productive Aging\u2019 among older adults in Singapore in \u2018Lifelong learning and productive aging among the baby-boomers in Singapore\u2019 (Social Science &amp; Medicine, 2019).
