Versatile 1st Gear December 7, 2012 Share December 7, 2012 (edited) Companies urged to tap on educated, economically inactive women SINGAPORE: Minister in the Prime Minister's Office Grace Fu has urged companies to employ highly-educated women who are economically inactive to meet the current shortages in the labour market. Speaking at a dialogue on developing an alternative workforce this morning, Ms Fu said this group is an important source of untapped talent. Currently, there are about 60,000 female university graduates who are not in the workforce. About 80 corporate leaders and HR practitioners took part in the dialogue. Among the things discussed were measures on how to promote a family-friendly work culture. Ms Fu said many women are often caught in a dilemma on whether to stay at home or to continue working. Ms Fu added: "Given our demographic challenges, the employers, workplaces, should encourage more women to do both -- having a family and having a career together. "It also benefits employers because they are able to retain their workers better, and they are also able to attract women to return to the workplace, thus, achieving both the objectives of the society and also of the employers." - CNA/lp I wonder where she got the statistic from? And 60,000 female graduate not working then what are they doing? is it local female expectation too high or all want to be tai tai. Or.... all men's all day all night while wife stay home kiao ka?
