SINGAPORE (Bloomberg): Singapore’s declining birth rate and its aging population require a sustained yet well calibrated influx of migrant workers, according to Deputy Prime Minister Lawrence Wong.

"If we are not able to bring in immigrants to top up the population then we are in structural decline, and eventually the population will decline, the workforce will decline and Singapore will decline,” Wong said at the Reinventing Destiny conference in Singapore on Monday.
