This paper outlines the aging trends in Singapore and takes stock of socioeconomic differences between Malay and Chinese elderly persons. It draws attention to the idea that policy response to the graying of Singapore has largely been confined to dealing with the consequences of population aging for the economy on the one hand and to creating social and community support for caregiving for elderly persons on the other. These policies cover employment, healthcare, housing, and social and recreational needs. Although fairly comprehensive, it is the position of this paper that further attention on supplementary programs that will address the particularities of specific ethnic groups will be required in order that the minority ethnic groups may also age gracefully.
