Over 95% of migrant workers polled satisfied with working and living in Singapore: MOM
More migrant workers are satisfied with working and living in Singapore, with over 95% expressing satisfaction in a Manpower Ministry survey. This is up from eight in 10 in the previous survey in 2018, and the highest since the study began in 2011. The rise in satisfaction comes on the back of the COVID-19 pandemic, which spurred improvements in their living conditions. A majority of the migrant workers said they would recommend others to work in Singapore, while nearly 97% also intend to continue working in the country when their current contract expires. The survey polled over 2,800 migrant workers and over 2,200 employers between October 2023 and February 2024.
