SINGAPORE – Mature workers and fresh graduates may face more challenges in the jobs market amid a global economy shake-up, said Manpower Minister Tan See Leng.
Dr Tan was speaking to the media during the first meeting of the Singapore Economic Resilience Taskforce on April 16.
The task force was set up to help affected businesses and workers navigate the uncertainties sparked by US tariffs on Singapore goods. It
will have three work streams, one of which will focus on identifying the pain points and immediate challenges faced by businesses and workers, and review the measures available to support them.
