They should also recognise skills instead of overly focusing on paper qualifications, says the Deputy Prime Minister.
SINGAPORE: Workers in Singapore should embrace a broader definition of what counts as a good job, and recognise skills and competencies instead of"overly" focusing on paper qualifications, said Deputy Prime Minister Lawrence Wong on Monday .
"I know this is not an easy conversation to have at a time when people are also concerned about rising prices and cost of living issues."The minister acknowledged there would"always" be temptation to compare with others, and to see who's better. "At the end of the day, everyone is different, we are each blessed with unique gifts and talents. There's no need to compare with others."In his speech, Mr Wong also highlighted three challenges facing Singapore - the future of work, the security of work and the rewards of work.
"We have avoided the pitfalls of defined benefit pension systems in many other places, where falling birth rates and rising longevity have made it harder for governments to support their citizens' retirement needs in a financially sustainable manner," Mr Wong said, adding that the CPF system has also evolved over the years.
"And for those who do not have the ability to work, or the runway to work and save through CPF, we will find ways to take care of you."Singapore should also consider how to make work rewards more fair and equitable, said Mr Wong. "It also becomes harder to match the right persons with the right skills to the right jobs. And all this compounds the sense of a continuous rat race and paper chase, adding to the worries and anxieties of Singaporeans."
