{"product_id":"9789814623858","title":"INEQUALITY IN SINGAPORE","description":"\u003cp\u003eIncome inequality has become a global phenomenon. Rapid technological advancement and an expanding global workforce will continue to place huge pressure on wages all over the world, including Singapore. This edited volume is the product of the robust exchanges that took place in a series of closed-door discussions (CDDs) on inequality that the Institute of Policy Studies organised in the first half of 2012. The essays provide a range of views on the multi-faceted nature of inequality in Singapore, discuss candidly the specific challenges we face, and offer some policy recommendations.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eContents:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eIntroduction:\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003eIs Life Getting Better in Singapore?: Issues on Social Inequality\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eInclusive Growth:\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003eGrowing Inclusivity, Addressing Labor Market Shortfalls and Enhancing International Competitiveness\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eEducation and Social Mobility:\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003eEducation and Intergenerational Mobility\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eRetirement Funding and Adequacy:\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003eRetirement Funding Adequacy in Singapore\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eForeign Talent and Their Impact on the Singapore Economy:\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003eImpact of Foreign Workers on Economic Growth of Singapore Economy\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eHealth Care and Long-term Care:\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003eHealth and Long-term Care for the Aging Population in Singapore\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eHousing Affordability:\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003eIs Housing Still Affordable?: New Disaggregated Indicators\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReadership:\u003c\/b\u003e Policy makers, educators, social scientists and analysts looking at social issues in Singapore.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eKey Features:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLooks at the issue of inequality in Singapore in a multi faceted manner\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRaises key concerns such as stagnating wage levels, barriers to upward mobility, healthcare affordability and income vulnerability in retirement\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWritten in a free flowing style that is suitable for general readership\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"World Scientific \/ Inst Of Policy Studies, S'pore","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47136966312176,"sku":"9789814623858","price":36.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9789814623858_p0.jpg?v=1763691838","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9789814623858","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
