“No Singaporean will be left behind, especially vulnerable workers,” the Minister for Manpower Tan See Leng emphasized a commitment to inclusivity
SINGAPORE: The Ministry of Manpower is set to launch a new support scheme for involuntarily unemployed job seekers and new legislation to enhance the rights and benefits of platform workers.
In his May Day speech this week, Minister for Manpower Tan See Leng emphasized the need for this proactive approach. “The pace of change in the economy is accelerating, and we know that more workers will likely be thrown curveballs,” he said. The new support scheme aims to provide financial and career assistance to those who lose jobs due to economic changes or business restructuring.
Simultaneously, MOM will implement new legislation to protect platform workers, focusing on three critical areas: retirement benefits, work injury compensation, and collective representation.
