Picnic06-Biante15 Supersonic November 12, 2012 Share November 12, 2012 from CNA : Demand for foreign manpower expected to increase in 2030 Posted: 12 November 2012 1037 hrs SINGAPORE: The demand for foreign manpower is projected to increase for the healthcare sector, construction sector and foreign domestic labour sector in 2030. This is the projection by the National Population and Talent Division (NPTD) in an Occasional Paper released on Monday. NPTD said the projections are not targets but illustrate the growth and change in demand for workers in these sectors based on certain assumptions drawn from the country's demographic and demand trends. For example, with Singapore's ageing population, there will be fewer young people for each elderly person. The ageing population would require more healthcare services. The demand for healthcare workers is expected to grow from 50,000 in 2011 to 91,000 in 2030. NPTD said of this total, 28,000 are projected to be foreign healthcare workers, up from 13,000 in 2011. The demand for foreign domestic workers (FDWs) could rise from 198,000 in 2011 to 300,000 by 2030. This is due to the expected rise in the number of resident households with young and/or elderly persons and the number of households where both spouses are working. The demand for construction workers is expected to remain strong, from 250,000 in 2011 to about 280,000 in the next two to three years. NPTD said this is due to the increased construction workload as the government ramps up infrastructure development, such as expanding the rail network, launching more Build-To-Order housing projects, and building more nursing homes and hospitals to cater to the ageing population. With projected improvements in productivity in the construction sector, NPTD said demand for construction work permit holders should be between 250,000 and 300,000 by 2030. - CNA/xq That's only for nursing and constructions...... So with industries, cleaners, service sectors (counter staff, operators, waitress, salesgirls ...etc.) and maintenance companies, the figure cold reach millions of FW in SG competing with our children (decline birthrates)...... Even if jobs at 'fast food' outlet will be mended by FW, where do our children or when older Singaporean stand against the influx of FW. Currently, Gov trying to induce 'silver' hair to come out of retirement to work at service sectors and with the housing prices keep rising, how to survive in 2030? ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
