SINGAPORE (Nov 26): Job market disruption, an ageing population and stagnant wages in certain lower income sectors are some of the biggest challenges facing Singapore’s labour market, according to the Singapore Business Federation (SBF).

In this light, SBF will look at providing sustainable employment opportunities for vulnerable workers in a trial that will begin in January 2020, says chairman Teo Siong Seng at the sustainable employment conference on Nov 22.

The initiative seeks to address the needs of professionals, managers, executives and technicians (PMETs) at risk of job displacement.
