abstract: '. In the context of Singapore''s ageing population, the employment of
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
large numbers of low-skilled foreign workers is proving to be a major
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
challenge to inclusive growth because of the stagnation of low-wage
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
workers'' incomes. In order to address this problem, the author makes the
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
case for introducing a minimum wage to complement existing in-work
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
benefit schemes. After addressing the commonly voiced objections to a
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
minimum wage system, he suggests ways in which a minimum wage could be
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
implemented in Singapore. New measures to enhance the social safety net
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
and foster more sustainable economic growth are also proposed.'
