Minimum wage or Workfare? Catch Minister of State for Manpower, Zaqy Mohamad, as he explains how Singapore is supporting our low-income workers.
--------------------------------------------------------
In 2020, Workfare will disburse almost $1 billion of annual pay outs, benefitting close to 440,000 Singaporeans.
The Workfare Income Supplement Scheme (WIS) is a broad-based measure that tops up the salaries of lower-income workers and helps them save for retirement
The Workfare Training Support (WTS) Scheme encourages lower-income workers to upskill in order to access better jobs with higher wages as the economy transforms
The Progressive Wage Model is a targeted intervention in the Security, Landscape, and Cleaning sectors to address the market failure of “cheap sourcing” and support sustainable wage increases.
