dependent on foreign investment. Despite the apparent benefits of
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
foreign investment and Singapore''s success in export-oriented
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
manufacturing there am worrisome aspects arising from the large and
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
growing dependency on such investment in the manufacturing sector as
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Singapore moves toward a developed country status. This article explores
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
some of the consequences of such dependency. In terms of industrial
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
pattern, foreign investment has crested and maintained a dualistic
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
industrial structure in manufacturing. Foreign firms and government
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
industrial policies have suppressed and marginalized local
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
entrepreneurship Export-oriented industrialization has opened the
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
employment doors for women in manufacturing. However, women are
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
predominantly found in low pay, dead end job in the assembly line of
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Singapore''s new industrial order. With the implementation of a new wave
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
of industrial restructuring strategies, new capital and technological
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
intensive foreign investments am welcomed and solicited However, the
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
local labour supply is unable to meet the increased demands. Foreign
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
labour has been called in to fill the gap. This inevitably distorts
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
labour market outcomes and heightens the income inequality index.'
