Eldercare in a time of migration

Today, many older Singaporeans belong to transnational families -- families whose members are living in two or more countries. At the same time, many migrants in Singapore have care obligations to their parents who live in their home countries. The ageing population and migration are two dominant factors that shape Singapore’s social fabric, and contribute to a global eldercare chain.

So how do migration and eldercare interact? What are the lived experiences for care workers, and for the family that gets left behind? And what is it like caring across borders?

To highlight the role of caregivers in transnational caregiving and to create greater understanding for elder care in general, AWARE will be holding a panel discussion on the global care chain. Join us, for a time of learning and sharing!

Talk: Why Conservation Matters (even if animals dont matter to you)

Modern medicine has been with us roughly one hundred years, but evolution has been at work since life began 3.5 billion years ago. Every time we lose a species, we lose something that may affect or potentially benefit us. Even if animals and wild spaces don’t appeal to you, their preservation absolutely should.

This talk is organised by Nature Society (Singapore) and A2A Safaris.
