#Whitepaper: Singapore's population projected to hit 6.9m by 2030, with a Singaporean core

By 2030, Singapore's population is projected to reach 6.5 to 6.9 million based on a government White Paper released on Tuesday. This will comprise a resident population of 4.2 to 4.4 million, of which 3.6 to 3.8 million are citizens and the rest Permanent Residents. Non-residents will make up about 2.3 to 2.5 million by then. To keep Singapore's citizen population from shrinking, Singapore will need 15,000 to 25,000 new citizens each year, assuming the current total fertility rate (TFR) of 1.2. About 30,000 new Permanent Residents (PR) is needed to keep the PR population stable at 500,000 to 600,000.

A 6.9m population, 3.6-3.9m Singaporeans. That makes us Singaporeans roughly 52-56% of the population in 2030. [link]
