Committee of Supply 2025 debate, Day 5: Sharael Taha on fostering inclusive growth
While Singapore maintains a low unemployment rate and offers many career opportunities, securing meaningful employment remains a significant challenge for seniors, differently abled individuals and those with caregiving responsibilities. Has the government moved the needle in expanding job opportunities for these groups of individuals? Is it enough? MP Sharael Taha raised these questions in parliament on Thursday (Mar 6). He noted that while flexible work arrangements have been promoted, adoption remains inconsistent. He asked how the government can go beyond schemes and incentives to truly shift workplace culture towards inclusive hiring practices and wondered if stronger regulatory measures should be considered.
