Abstract: Population ageing has become a major social issue of concern worldwide in recent years, with significant implications for national economic and social development. Globally, Singapore is one of the first countries to address ageing as a population issue and has implemented relatively well-developed initiatives to promote healthy ageing. Similar to China, Singapore has a sharp decline in the total fertility rate, resulting in changes in the population structure. This paper briefly introduces Singapore′s healthy ageing measures, summarizes Singapore′s practical measures and coping concepts in scientific research on ageing, healthcare programs for the elderly, elderly -friendly environment construction, artificial intelligence big data application, and puts forward that China should pay attention to the effectiveness of population growth incentive measures, pay attention to the scientific and technological response, increase the development and application of artificial intelligence, improve primary health care and long-term health care, and update scientific concepts.
