    REACH RWEB Submission feedback RWEB2012050100010 via the REACH website: To raise productivity,

    To raise productivity, everyone has a part to play :-
    1. Business invest in capital tools and send workers for training
    2. Workers upgrade skills to operate capital tools
    3. Govt provide grants, provide good education, married govt R&D bodies with business etc
    4. Government work with various industry to devise objective and tangible KPI to allow business, workers, union, gov, schools etc to shoot for the KPI.
    5. Govt, business, bright individuals should scout overseas countries and industries that have make their industries productive and bring it back to Singapore and transform our business to be more productive.
    6. Union encourage, provide relevant course for workers to upgrade
    7. School train students in right course, right skills and married industry with courses.
    8. Home, family members, social bodies have to support working members to provide a conducive environment for working members to be productive.
    9. Look at whatever else things that can make the nation productive, to be productive.
    10. Peg the wage increase vis-à-vis our regions, our competitors, our international competition to ensure that our wage increase are competitive and will not drive away business – causing massive job losses.

    Subject: REACH RWEB Submission: Govt agenices working with industries to devise prodictivity figures

    To elaborate further :-
    (1) Ministry of Comm and iDA – should work with IT industries, foreign IT MNCs, local IT vendors etc to devise objective, tangible KPI productive figures in each technology areas and skillsets vis-à-vis global competition and regional competition – so that IT business and IT workers can target to meet the KPI productivity figures – and peg wage growth in % term and/or absolute term to the productivity figures and business profitability. Communicate this to the IT industries, business, IT workers, Union and schools. Make sure we are competitive with our global competitors and regional competitors.
    (2) SLA should do the same with construction sector.
    (3) Ministry of Finanace and MAS should work with the banking and financial sector. etc

    That is, the concept above is how to transform Singapore Economy in 2016 - sector-by-sector (conceptualising the KPI for each sector) ---- and using targeted approach to transform each sector, each industry one by one.

    Only then productivity in each sector, in each industry can be successfully transformed - supported by empirical, scientific measures.

    Good that after 4 years --- the idea is taken up.

    The real question is how long those employed stay in the company. Many companies hire Singaporeans just to get quota for EPs, and later fire the Singaporeans.

    Of the 210,000 population growth over from 2015 to 2018, only 60,000 jobs were created. Common sense speaks for itself how many People were displaced of jobs. If the government wants to be seen to be sincere in dealing with the issues, they should be transparent with their data used in the analysis as to classification, definition, constituent and composition of the data. Specifically whether it will includes those PMETs that were displaced and are now working as taxi drivers, panda, gojek, hawkers or food deliveries works. Are they included in the data analysis as displaced PMETs or as employed? Otherwise it can only be viewed as party line propaganda as far as I can opine to it.

    What's an 'occassional' paper? Oh, it's an officially sounding 'research' released for
    an occasion, in this case, the coming GE 2020...

    Why MOM never release "key findings" on what jobs the 63.6% aged 65 and over found? "Excercising" picking cardboard and empty cans or Gainfully Employed selling tissues at mrt stations?

    "As of June 2019 last year the employment rate was 63.6%,up from the 60% in June 2009 and driven most consistently by those aged 65 and over" "Key findings" released by MOM's "occasional paper".
    Which in plain words folks means,the 63.6% of those employed as of last year are the hapless 65 years and above who can't afford to retire. The MOM will conveniently release a "occasional paper" when it becomes a hot topic when the election is near. Otherwise,it'll be just "business as usual". Act Blur!

    Can we have a separate set of reports that disregard ..

    1) the retired/unemployed father, mother, grandpa, grandma phantom "employees", made "employed" overnight by child's/grandchild's one-man show small business so as to qualify for grants like the infamous PIC (which requires 3 workers to qualify), and

    2) the retired/unemployed coffeeshop uncles and aunties "employed" overnight by kind bosses offering them "free CPF contributions" so as to circumvent the foreign workers quota for their companies?

    Don't tell us you not aware ok? Ghost then will believe.
