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.
