PROBLEM & MOTIVATION

Problem Description: According to Data.gov.sg, by 2030, the ageing population in Singapore is projected to reach approximately 90,000, which is almost double of the current ageing population. Therefore, a better understanding of the current ageing population situation and other facilities is needed in order to better prepare for the ageing population.

Motivation: Our motivation is to identify the short term gaps in aspects of the ageing population by providing an insightful data visualization based on the data from singstat and data.gov.sg. We will analyze the current ageing population with respect to the current working population, and the availability of medical care for these aged population. The data visualization will show the distribution of ageing population levels across the planning areas of Singapore (based on URA 2014). Additional information will include presence of medical facilities and working population based on planning areas.

OBJECTIVES
