According to the Singapore Population Census 2011 survey, “the number of residents aged 65 years or older will multiply threefold from the current 300,000 to 900,000 in 2030” (Department of Statistics Singapore, 2012). In other words, 1 out of 5 residents will be a senior. In addition, the National Health Survey 2004 showed that a whopping 85% of Singapore Residents aged between 65 and 74 years suffered from one or more of the following conditions: diabetes mellitus, hypertension and high total blood cholesterol. While the prevailing chronic medical conditions existing in the elderly population in Singapore represent a glaring marker, mental health issues are also a concern for the government as the elderly is more prone to mental health issues such as depression and dementia. Current resources for the elderly in Singapore have been stretched to a maximum, and hospital occupancies have reached a record high, so much so that even private nursing homes have been roped in to provide additional beds to house the sick and mostly elderly patients who face issues surrounding their discharge in hospitals.Assignment questions Word limit: 3000Question 1**Critically examine the above case study from a social perspective. **
