There is little incentive to care for the greying population in Japan.

Singapore will face the same challenges within the next decade.
However, I do not worry too much. Currently, we worry that there are not enough jobs for people, due to automation and artificial intelligence replacing the traditional work.
There will be a strong demand for people to take care of elderly people.
We need a way to pay these care givers adequately. This will be a cost to soceity. It has to come out of taxes payable by corporations that make a lot of profit and by high income earners.
We also need to make the job meaningful and enjoyable - but technology can help.
This is a challenge to the government. We need a good and wise government to overcome this challenge. Right?.
