SINGAPORE — Younger people between the ages 21 and 34 are less likely to have seen their social status rise, compared to those who are older, a study by the Institute of Policy Studies (IPS) released on Monday (Jan 16) showed.
The study, titled "Survey on Singapore workforce’s preparedness for the future of work, their work aspirations and perceptions of social mobility", showed that respondents aged 55 and above are more likely to have seen a rise in their social status.

Seven in 10 among this group do so, compared to 61 per cent of those aged between 35 and 54, and 52 per cent of those aged 21 to 34.
The study, which surveyed 1,010 working adult Singaporeans aged between 21 and 84 in October last year, took stock of social mobility in an effort to understand "how Singaporeans are likely to fare in jobs of tomorrow and where vulnerabilities may lie", a press release on the study said.
Social mobility and inequality in Singapore have been hot-button issues in recent years.

In 2018, then-Deputy Prime Minister Tharman Shanmugaratnam urged Singaporeans to keep the “escalator” of social mobility moving. He warned that once it stops, those caught in the middle will be steeped in “pervasive anxiety” of not only trailing those advancing further, but also looking over their shoulder at those who are catching up.
A report by the World Economic Forum in 2020 on social mobility found that despite outperforming its Southeast Asian neighbours, Singapore ranks 20th out of 82 countries surveyed.

HOW IPS TRACKED SOCIAL MOBILITY​

The researchers used what is known as MacArthur’s Social Status Scale or MacArthur’s Ladder, where respondents were presented with an image of a ladder with 10 rungs and asked to imagine that it represents their society.
"The top rung (10) represents people with the most wealth, education and respected jobs, while the bottom rung (1) represents the most impoverished and least educated with the least respected or no jobs," IPS said. Respondents were then asked to rank themselves on this ladder.
First, they were asked to recall their childhood circumstances at age 18 or earlier and provide a ranking, and then were asked to consider their present circumstance and provide a current ranking.
"An increase in 'ladder scores' from childhood to present circumstances suggests upward social mobility, and vice versa for a decrease in 'ladder scores'," IPS said.

The study found that overall, six in 10 respondents reported higher scores now, meaning that they experienced upward social mobility compared to childhood. This compared to 24 per cent who reported no change in scores, and 16 per cent who reported a decrease in scores.

The results were also broken down by age, and the breakdown showed that younger respondents are less likely to have seen upward mobility than older folk.
Dr Chew Han Ei, a senior research fellow at IPS and a co-author of the study, said: "The simple explanation is that (older respondents) have had more time to accumulate wealth, and also we know that in the past 50 years, Singapore has undergone massive improvements in mobility."
However, it may not be only time that makes it more difficult for young people to accumulate wealth compared to the older generations.
Deputy Prime Minister Lawrence Wong noted last year that among the concerns that Singapore faces is that social mobility is slowing, with people who have done well pulling further ahead of the rest due to their entrenched advantages.
Agreeing, Mr Ang Yew Shen, a 33-year-old director of sales at a wealth management firm, said that young people can still climb the social ladder.

DIFFERENT PERCEPTIONS OF SOCIAL CLASS OVER TIME​

The rungs on the ladder were divided into different brackets:
  • Rungs one to four were classified as the lower social status bracket
  • Rungs five to seven were the middle bracket
  • Rungs eight to 10 represented the upper class
The study found that for those who put their childhood social status in the lower bracket, about nine in 10 reported higher scores for their lives now, compared to just half from the middle brackets and 13 per cent from the upper-class brackets.
More respondents also placed themselves in the middle and upper social class brackets now.
About half of the respondents reported that they were in the middle social class, while 11 per cent were in the upper class when they were children. However, in their current lives, about seven in 10 said that they were in the middle social class and 19 per cent were in the upper class.

Well, it is all due to social problems associated with PAP's strategy shift towards bringing CECA into Sg society. PAP closed the eyes for the future of Sinkaporeans already. Youth (both genders) in SG are constantly get molested by rapists as the devil is behind the match-making acts for ONS for CECA. It is evil nature and evil spiritual.

It is a spiritual problem that most of the youth NOT seeking to get married and to build a family.
The future for SG youth is not promising either.

Not in future when they make robots do deliveries. Akan datang. :cool:
In the past your mama and/ or helper prepared food for you, nobody knows what the menu was. Such info is very strictly private and confidential and is private to you and your family members. only. Now the social media such as Facebook, Instagram and TiKTok changed the privacy as I see every sinkaporean before eating in the Hawker Centers or Restautant or bars, he simply clicks and updates his status in his profile as to what his food is every day and every time again and again, over and over constantly without knowing the consequences. Such info is being automated to store into the Mainframe system under your profile with all private chats and even your nudity as they can tap on if you use a camera phone. In the past camera phones were not permitted in SG government jobs. LKY was very cunning, but he protected the SG and the data. Now it is gone/

That is not enough. The Rothschild's Fascist government wanted to get the more private data of the food of their choice and average spending on F&B of individuals. They have done a lot of brainstorming as most of the restaurants now support online invoices (google forms) and such info are already collaborated from google, AWS and Azure cloud services. Once your data reached these cloud services, they safely transfer the data to the ONE-DB or ONE-WORRD-DATABASE






Why do they want to automate everything as part of the smart nation initiatives (it is a stupid move unless you protect the data not going out of SG without using Google, AWS or any other cloud).

Such are information are vulnerable to an individual.

For example,

LHL may be a PM, but he is also an ordinary man as he also has to eat and shit like you and me.

Rothschild knows all data of our Premier of Singapore, LHL inner secrets, emotions and tastebuds, his heart beats his food habits, and his sexual orientation, preference for his gay sex partner, the size of cock, top or bottom part versatile and his private talk with his international gay brothers and his every private information all exposed to the world database. To me LHL is so stupid as he could not protect his own privacy and the privacy of individuals (Singapore citizens) as he was the first PM who gave his consent to USA technocrats to store our private data into their servers with the stupid Cloud services to breech data privacy. All such private data are now automated/orchestrated into world database.


Mr. Piyush Gupta, CEO of DBS said he already admitted that he can even spy on an individual (whom he had a crush on) l and can even predict which restaurant he may go and worder what food he may order etc using DBS Tech data. With a half-baked brain with no insights on the security threats of the modern technology, he has now all info available through PayLah and PayNow.

Now Silicon Valley with stupid Technocrats in California finally concluded that all food delivery must be digitized and thus they wanted to automate the delivery business through AI and robotics too. This will give the world Monarch to get every detail of an individual with just one click. USA robotic delivery failed. Stupid PAP regime wanna venture the same Silicon Valley path, SG must embrace yet another social issues in Singapore.

Woes of AI and robotics in a conservative society like SG

As we know the data privacy is the major pitch for abetting it. Let me be clear!

Delivery robots may add value to vibrant cities like Sinkapore; however, technology developers are still ironing out the kinks. Even though delivery robots are nearly self-sufficient, they still need to be monitored by human “Minders,” or employees tasked with keeping an eye on them. A delivery robot recently collided with a parked car, and the incident was blamed on the minder. A robot in Berkeley, California, recently caught fire and was destroyed in the middle of the street, with the minder once again taking responsibility.

The technology for these devices isn’t quite there yet. Furthermore, before delivery robots take off, cities must catch up. We may see sidewalk gridlock before we see widespread localized policies for delivery robots, much like the onslaught of e-scooters and dockless bikes prompted city governments to pass legislation restricting their use and limiting their permitted locations.

There is also the issue of traffic congestion. Scooters and bikes can be tucked away in easy-to-avoid areas in an ideal world, but delivery robots will be in the middle of human traffic, adding to the congestion on our sidewalks. Individuals who are particularly young or old may have difficulty interacting with these machines or getting out of their way.

Another issue that needs to be addressed is liability. Consider a jogger hurtling down a steep incline in San Francisco’s North Beach district, turning a corner, and coming face to face with a delivery robot. Consider a delivery robot sliding into oncoming traffic due to a patch of ice in a Chicago neighborhood. City attorneys and legislators will address these and other scenarios.

Aside from these issues, the introduction of delivery devices into our economy signals another step toward job automation. Many manufacturing, crop cultivation, fast food, and shipping jobs have been lost to robots in recent years, so autonomous trucks, taxis, and delivery devices will be flooding the market. For many small food-based businesses, food delivery is the largest and fastest-growing source of revenue. We appear to be narrowing the field of unskilled labor in a thriving economy, and our elected leaders may need to intervene to calm the ferocious job market sooner or later.

m&d minorities and low-income people who work in deliveries and manufacturing will be disproportionately affected by automation.
