Will Echo Baby Boomers Rescue the Stock Market?

Not all is despair, however, from a demographic perspective. Enter the “echo baby boomers” –latter-day children and grandchildren of the baby boomers (born between 1981 and 1999) — who constitute an even larger number of people than the baby boomers themselves (81 million vs. 78 million).

Look ahead to 10 million people by 2100?


Former chief planner says a better living environment is possible even with high density

By Janice Heng

Singapore should look beyond 2030 and plan for a more distant future - perhaps even one with 10 million people, former chief planner Liu Thai Ker said at a public forum on Saturday.

"The world doesn't end in 2030, and population growth doesn't end at 6.9 million," he said, referring to the planning parameter in the Government's White Paper on Population.

Singapore could do well to look ahead, perhaps to 2100 when it might have a population of 10 million, he suggested.

Mr Liu was one of five speakers at a forum organised by the Singapore Institute of Planners (SIP) and co-hosted by the National University of Singapore's Department of Architecture, on the topic of planning for 2030.
