| contents | Economic growth and inequality in Singapore: the case for a minimum wage Weng Tat Hui In the context of Singapore’s ageing population, the employment of large numbers of low-skilled foreign workers is proving to be a major challenge to inclusive growth because of the stagnation of low-wage workers’ incomes. In order to address this problem, the author makes the case for introducing a minimum wage to complement existing in-work benefit schemes. After addressing the commonly voiced objections to a minimum wage system, he suggests ways in which a minimum wage could be implemented in Singapore. New measures to enhance the social safety net and foster more sustainable economic growth are also proposed. 10.1111/j.1564-913X.2013.00171.x DOI https://doi.org/10.1111/j.1564-913X.2013.00171.x publication.journalArticle |
