SINGAPORE: The way elderly people with multiple medical conditions are treated and the benefits of having them stay employed were among topics discussed at a symposium held by the Centre for Research on Successful Ageing on Tuesday .

She added that other than physical well-being, mental, social and economic well-being are equally important as people grow older.
“Once past retirement, we see that we have about 20 to 25 good years, and what do we do with the 20 to 25 good years? So Takashi’s argument is ‘let's continue to make it easier for older adults to continue to contribute to the economy’, so that's a big plus,” she said.
