MP: Mr Shawn Loh

To ask the Minister for Manpower (a) what is the number and proportion of active CPF members who have turned 55 years old from 2020 to 2024; and (b) in light of a higher rate of labour market disruption, whether the Ministry expects the proportion of active CPF members to decrease in the future.
