Mr Tan Chuan-Jin, Minister of State for National Development and Manpower & Dr Amy Khor, Minister of State for Health to officiate Asia’s first human capital conference

By 2050, the number of people in Asia above 60 years of age is expected to be 1.2 billion, four times higher than in Europe and the United States combined. With an ageing population and rising global competition, employers are encouraged to take a long term view of manpower planning and to consider older workers as a source of quality manpower, recognising the economic value of making the workplace age friendly.

At Age Friendly Workforce Asia 2011 (AFWA 2011), senior level decision makers are coming together to exchange ideas on business sustainability and lifelong employability. These 400 CEOs and HR Directors are revolutionising attitudes and harnessing new strategies towards an ageing workforce – the urgent reality of a greying phenomenon that is sweeping across Asia.

A highly interactive people shaped conference, AFWA 2011 is where private and public sectors will engage in meaningful dialogue on managing the impacts of a changing workforce – a platform especially for HR Directors to gain insight from actual case studies and interactive panel discussions to remain competitive in the face of an ageing workforce.
