SINGAPORE - The total population of Singapore grew by 3.4 per cent over the past year to reach 5.64 million in June, the Government's annual Population in Brief report revealed on Tuesday.
Fewer pandemic health restrictions also had an effect on citizen marriages, which increased by 20.6 per cent to 23,433 in 2021, from 19,430 in 2020.said the report by the National Population and Talent Division. From 2017 to 2021, citizen births averaged 32,200 per year, marking a drop from the 2012-2016 average of 32,900.
By 2030, around one in four citizens - or 23.8 per cent - will be aged 65 and above. The proportion of the citizen population in this age group is growing at a faster pace compared with that in the last decade, said the report. The non-resident population stood at 1.56 million in June, an increase of 6.6 per cent from 2021. There were 1.68 million non-residents in 2019.

Sad ..how come never hit 10.1m?
Non-resident population still lower than pre-covid levels. For non resident population increase, the largest increase was seen for work permit holders in the construction, marine shipyard, and process sectors.
At first I thought more Singaporeans doing the horizontal cha cha but then it's really thanks to ICA letting more deserving migrants in... /s
how many are REAL, 100%, non-imported, pink-IC holders?
G doing more to entice new citizen/pr compared to local birth.
The true citizen is only 3.55 million....
Local birth: 30 000 New citizens and new pr: 55 000 😁
