Council for Third Age


RESOURCES		Study on Public Perception and Attitudes towards Ageing and Seniors (2008) The overwhelming majority of Singaporeans value and respect seniors – perhaps even more than they value and respect themselves and their peers, according to a national survey. The first nationally representative survey conducted by the Council for Third Age (C3A) to assess public perceptions and attitudes towards seniors in Singapore. The results will help the Council better understand existing attitudes towards seniors and ageing, and gain a deep understanding of seniors’ relationship with friends and family, the roles they are perceived to play in society, and implications for their overall well being. This study helps identify possible perception problems that could impact the integration of seniors into the family, workplace and society.
