I have accepted an invitation by Gilbert Goh to give a talk on May Day. I will share more details of this event when it is available.
Here is the outline of my talk.
In a recent survey, I asked participants to indicate the item of greatest concern to them - cost of living, jobs and health care.
They chose jobs.
It makes sense. If you have a job that pays a good wage, you can afford the high cost of living and health care. If you do not have a job, you will face financial distress.
In recent years, many people are worried about their jobs. The older workers are worried about being retrenched. The younger graduates are worried that they may not get a job that pays well.
This problem is compounded by the influx of foreigners. Worse, many people have complained that employers prefer foreigners, rather than locals, due to cost and other factors.
What policies and strategies can the government adopt to ensure that locals are able to get a jobs?
I identified three strategies. I will talk about them at the May Day talk.
You can get a preview of the key points of my talk from this video. But I may modify and update my thinking when I present my talk on May Day.
Happy viewing. It just takes 20 minutes.
