Do more for lower-income Singaporean

We will do more to help lower-income and less-skilled Singaporeans to improve their lives and not be left behind. To do this, we will:

• Redesign old jobs to pay more, and upgrade workers’ skills so that they can earn more

• Enhance social support for families so that workers, particularly women, can go out to work

• Ensure that their children receive a good education

• Give them more help to buy their homes and build up their assets for their retirement, through the Additional CPF Housing Grant Scheme

• Distribute Workfare Bonus to encourage and reward work

• Build up the ComCare Fund to $1 billion to help those in greatest need
