Abstract: This working paper records the findings of the project and discusses the key principles that underpin the Danish and Finnish welfare states. The paper reflects on the critical issues that must be considered if Singapore were to adopt the welfare state model. The paper provides a discussion of how the two systems have responded to the challenges of immigration and ageing, and how these long-term trends have forced both systems to adapt. It reviews the reforms in retirement policy and analyses the reforms using four models of policy change.
