The newly announced SkillsFuture Credit top-up for mid-career workers is meant to help all Singaporeans progress through life and prevent inequality from growing

new SkillsFuture Level-Up programme targeted at Singaporeans aged 40 and above. It included a $4,000 top-up of SkillsFuture credit to be used for selected courses with better employability outcomes....The programme also includes a monthly training allowance for Singaporeans aged 40 and above who enrol in selected full-time courses, as well as subsidies for them to pursue another full-time diploma.

Another critical reason why Singaporeans must make learning a way of life is that Singaporeans are not just getting older but living longer...when people keep their minds working and are socially active, they live healthier and more fulfilling lives. This reduces the chances of dementia setting in later.
