新加坡：根据周五（9月25日）发布的官方数据，新加坡已进入“超级老龄化社会”的阶段。
SINGAPORE: Singapore has reached "super-aged society" status, according to official figures released on Friday (Sep 25).
当一个国家或地区65岁及以上的人口占比达到21%或以上时，就被视为“超级老龄化社会”。
The threshold is reached when at least 21 per cent of the population is aged 65 and above.
根据总理办公室下属的国家人口与人才局（NPTD）及其合作机构发布的《人口概况报告》，2026年6月时，新加坡65岁及以上的公民占比为21.4%。
In June 2026, 21.4 per cent of Singapore citizens were in this age group, according to this year’s Population in Brief report by the National Population and Talent Division (NPTD) of the Prime Minister’s Office and its partner agencies.
虽然联合国在定义“超级老龄化社会”时使用的是总人口数据，但新加坡采用的是公民人口数据。
While the United Nations uses total population for its definition of a super-aged society, Singapore uses its citizen population.
最新数据显示，当月新加坡的总人口达到了621万，比去年同期增长了1.6%。
The latest figures also showed Singapore’s total population grew to 6.21 million that month, marking a 1.6 per cent increase from June last year.
不过报告指出，2025年的公民结婚率和出生率均低于2024年：结婚率下降了5.6%，出生率下降了10.8%。
But citizen marriages and births declined in 2025 compared with 2024, the report said. Marriages fell 5.6 per cent in 2025, while births dropped 10.8 per cent.
人口老龄化趋势：新加坡的人口老龄化现象日益严重，65岁及以上的公民比例增长速度比过去十年更快。2016年这一比例为13.7%，到2026年上升至21.4%。过去10年间，80岁及以上的公民人数增加了60%，从2016年的9.5万人增加到2026年的15.2万人。
SUPER-AGED POPULATION Singapore’s population has been ageing, with the proportion of citizens aged 65 and above rising faster than in the previous decade. In 2016, 13.7 per cent of the citizen population belonged to this age group. This rose to 21.4 per cent in 2026.
报告预测，到2035年，新加坡65岁及以上的公民比例将超过四分之一。不过2030年至2035年间，20至64岁年龄段的公民比例预计将基本保持稳定。
Over the past 10 years, the number of citizens aged 80 and above also increased by 60 per cent, climbing from 95,000 in 2016 to 152,000 in 2026, said the report. It estimated that more than 1 in 4 Singaporeans would be aged 65 and above by 2035.
报告解释称：“这一现象是由于进入65岁及以上年龄段的公民数量减少，同时有更多年轻人（尤其是通过移民政策）进入20至64岁年龄段，从而实现了人口结构的平衡。”
However, the proportion of citizens aged 20 to 64 is expected to remain broadly stable between 2030 and 2035. "This is due to smaller cohorts ageing into the 65 and above age band, balanced by an inflow of younger cohorts into the 20 to 64 age band, including from managed immigration inflows," the report said.
截至2026年6月，新加坡人的平均年龄为44.1岁，高于2025年的43.7岁。2026年时，每2.8名65岁及以上的公民对应着1名20至64岁的公民；而这一养老抚养比预计到2035年将进一步下降至2.2。
The median age for Singaporeans as of June was 44.1, up from 43.7 in June 2025. There were also 2.8 citizens aged 20 to 64 for every citizen aged 65 and above in 2026, down from 4.7 in 2016. This old-age support ratio is projected to fall further to 2.2 by 2035.
人口增长报告指出，新加坡总人口的增长主要得益于非居民人口的增加，尤其是持有工作许可证的人士。
Listen: POPULATION GROWTH Singapore’s total population growth was mainly driven by a rise in the non-resident population, particularly in work permit holders, said the report.
2025年6月至2026年6月期间，新加坡公民人口增长了0.7%，从366万人增加到368万人；而永久居民人口则基本保持稳定，为55万人。与此同时，非居民人口增长了3.7%，达到了198万人。
The citizen population grew by 0.7 per cent from June 2025 to June 2026, from 3.66 million to 3.68 million, while the permanent resident population remained relatively stable at 0.55 million. Meanwhile, the non-resident population rose by 3.7 per cent to 1.98 million.
2025年6月至2026年6月期间，外国劳动力的就业人数增长幅度高于前12个月，这主要是由于持有工作许可证的人数增加所致。
Foreign employment growth was higher from June 2025 to June 2026 than in the preceding 12 months, primarily because of an increase in work permit holders.
报告特别提到了建筑行业：由于樟宜机场5号航站楼的建设、滨海湾金沙项目的扩建以及住房供应和交通基础设施的不断完善，对持有工作许可证的劳动力需求显著增加。
The report highlighted the construction sector in particular, saying more work permit holders were needed for projects such as Changi Airport’s Terminal 5, the expansion of Marina Bay Sands, and a ramp-up in housing supply and other transport infrastructure.
报告还指出，2021年至2026年的年均人口增长率高于前五年，部分原因是2021年受新冠疫情影响，人口基数较低。
The annualised population growth rate from 2021 to 2026 was also higher than in the preceding five years, partly because the COVID-19 pandemic had resulted in a lower population base in 2021, the report said.
2025年，新加坡共向25,094人授予了公民身份，向35,352人授予了永久居留权。
The annualised population growth rate from 2021 to 2026 was also higher than in the preceding five years, partly because the COVID-19 pandemic had resulted in a lower population base in 2021, the report said.
2021年至2025年间，每年平均授予22,400个公民身份和34,600个永久居留权，而2016年至2020年期间这一数字分别为每年20,600个和31,200个。
Singapore granted citizenship to 25,094 people and permanent residency to 35,352 people in 2025. From 2021 to 2025, an average of 22,400 citizenships and 34,600 permanent residencies were granted each year, up from annual averages of 20,600 and 31,200 respectively from 2016 to 2020.
报告称，许多新获得的公民和永久居民与新加坡人有家庭关系，或者曾在新加坡学习、工作或居住过一段时间。
The report said many of the new citizens and PRs either shared family ties with Singaporeans or had studied, worked or lived in the country for some time.
报告强调：“移民政策有助于缓解人口老龄化和低出生率对公民人口的影响，从而防止公民人口长期减少。”
"Immigration helps to moderate the impact of ageing and low birth rates on our citizen population, and keeps the citizen population from shrinking over the long term," it said.
结婚和出生人数下降去年，新加坡的公民婚姻数量为21,671对，比2024年的22,955对下降了5.6%。
"Immigration helps to moderate the impact of ageing and low birth rates on our citizen population, and keeps the citizen population from shrinking over the long term," it said. FEWER MARRIAGES AND BIRTHS Singapore had 21,671 citizen marriages last year, down 5.6 per cent from 22,955 in 2024.
2023年至2025年间，每年的公民婚姻平均数量为23,000对，低于2016年至2019年期间的年均23,500对。
The average number of citizen marriages per year from 2023 to 2025 was 23,000, lower than the annual average of 23,500 from 2016 to 2019.
新加坡人的结婚年龄也在逐渐推迟。报告显示，2025年首次结婚的新郎和新娘的中位年龄分别为30.8岁和29.1岁，而2015年这一数字分别为30.1岁和27.9岁。
Singaporeans have also been getting married later. The median ages for first-time grooms and brides were 30.8 and 29.1, respectively, in 2025, up from 30.1 and 27.9, in 2015.
报告指出，在去年所有公民婚姻中，跨国婚姻占37%，族际婚姻占19%。自2015年以来，这些婚姻的比例基本保持稳定；不过在COVID-19疫情期间（2020年至2022年），跨国婚姻的数量有所下降。
Of the citizen marriages last year, transnational marriages accounted for 37 per cent while inter-ethnic marriages made up 19 per cent, said the report. The proportions of these marriages have remained largely stable since 2015, though transnational marriages dipped from 2020 to 2022 during the COVID-19 pandemic.
报告还显示，新加坡的单身人口比例正在上升。在2015年至2025年间，大多数年龄段的单身人数都有所增加，尤其是25至29岁和30至34岁的人群。
Singles in Singapore are also making up a larger share of the citizen population. Between 2015 and 2025, the proportion of singles rose across most male and female age groups, particularly for those aged 25 to 29 and 30 to 34, said the report.
公民出生人数从2024年的29,237人下降到2025年的26,071人，下降了10.8%；居民生育率也降至0.87%。报告称，2021年至2025年的年均出生人数低于2016年至2020年的平均水平。
Citizen births fell 10.8 per cent from 29,237 in 2024 to 26,071 last year, while the resident fertility rate dropped to 0.87. The average number of births per year from 2021 to 2025 was lower than from 2016 to 2020, said the report.
与此同时，新加坡母亲的首次生育年龄也在上升，从2015年的30.3岁上升到了2025年的31.9岁。
At the same time, the median age of Singaporean mothers during their first birth has increased, climbing from 30.3 in 2015 to 31.9 in 2025.
尽管公民出生人数减少，但2025年通过血统关系获得新加坡国籍的儿童人数显著增加。去年共有1,646名儿童获得了新加坡国籍，而2024年这一数字为1,409人。
While citizen births declined, the number of children granted citizenship by descent increased notably in 2025. These children were born overseas to at least one Singaporean, and 1,646 received citizenship last year, as compared to 1,409 in 2024.
