Singapore continues to face the long—term challenge of low fertility and an ageing population, according to its latest population report.

But the record number of foreign residents in the country has helped grow the total population to 4.84 million in 2008 — an increase of 5.5 per cent over the previous year.

Foreigners now make up about 25 per cent of the total population.

And out of the 25 percent of foreigners, 10 percent of them works in architect's firms and interior design firms. Approx another 5 percent were all found scattered around shopping centres, cafes, kopitiam. Another 8 percent helps to improve the construction industry in Singapore.
