Question: Examine the level of retirement adequacy among older people in
Singapore.
You will have to conduct 1) secondary research on this topic, and 2) in-depth qualitative interviews, to address this ECA.
Important note for the in-depth qualitative interviews: You will need to interview EXACTLY TWO persons who should be aged 50 or older. The interviewees could be currently retired or are preparing for retirement. The interviews should be conducted face-to-face.

Students’ Notes:
This assignment allows you to practise your interviewing skills, organise research and empirical data, as well as to analyse the ageing process of older persons. You will illustrate the heterogeneity of ageing populations and analyse ageing experiences with reference to relevant issues from the course. In doing so, you will compose a nuanced picture of retirement adequacy and ageing.
Before you start, you should read the relevant material in your course; and to have a better idea of the concept of ageing in the local context, you could look up recent news articles (via NewsLink or Factiva in SUSS’s e-resources) that highlighted concerns about ageing and various approaches to ageing. You should also look up additional and recent scholarly articles relevant to the topic, using SUSS’s e-resources (e.g. The Gerontologist, Ageing & Society, JSTOR, ScienceDirect, SocINDEX, Blackwell Reference Online, selected SAGE journals) for your secondary research.
