SINGAPORE - The Workers' Party has called for better support for older professionals, managers, executives and technicians in its May Day message, while setting out four suggestions on how to help Singaporean workers.
With almost 70 per cent of retrenched workers aged 40 or older, the party said the situation is worse for older PMETs. First, Singaporeans must be able to compete for jobs with foreigners on a level playing field, it said, adding that applicants for Employment Passes and S Passes should be subject to an assessment to ensure that their certificates are genuine.
Third, there should be stronger social safety nets for those who are retrenched and unemployed, said the WP, reiterating its earlier suggestion of a redundancy insurance scheme to reduce financial pressure on such workers.
