How is this study relevant to me?
The survey will attempt to observe the changes and better appreciate the issues that Singapore residents aged 45 to 75 years face in the workforce. It covers areas of recent relevance, general well-being, attitudes towards lifelong learning, intergenerational workplace relations. Your partici-pation will provide valuable information in these areas on others like you. Together, the infor-mation collected will be used for analyses. The outcomes and findings gleaned from these analyses will be shared with policy makers and employers to help enhance the workplace now and in the future.
How is this survey different from other recent surveys that I have read relating to the mature workforce?
This study is different as it employs a representative sample of Singapore’s population (Singapore Citizens and Permanent Residents) to understand the workforce aged 45 to 75 years of age. Each successfully verified survey response will provide representative insight on this population group. It also covers more areas that are of interest to this segment of the workforce.
I have participated in other surveys, but they only required 5 to 10 minutes of my time?
This is because our survey covers more areas. Thus, we require a little more of your time to com-plete. For other surveys that only require a few minutes, these are oftentimes only asking the par-ticipant for information in only one area of interest at the very most.
Will anyone know my responses to questions in the survey?
Your responses in the survey cannot be linked back to you. The research study relies on grouped data (e.g., age group, gender, occupational group etc) to generate results and report its findings.
If I change my mind, can I withdraw from the survey?
Yes, you can withdraw from the study at any time. To do so, you can contact the project office at [email protected].
