Singapore's Population Hits a New High
Singapore's population has reached a historic milestone. As of June 2024, the country's total population has surpassed six million, primarily due to a significant increase in the non-resident population.
Key points:
- Non-resident growth: The primary driver of this population surge is the growth in non-residents, including foreign workers, migrant domestic workers, international students, and their dependents.
- Record-breaking figure: This is the first time Singapore's population has exceeded six million.
- Economic implications: The increase in non-residents is likely linked to Singapore's economic growth and its need for foreign talent to support various industries.
