Research question
How can the
government address the economic and social issues within the locals that have
resulted from the rapid influx of foreign power in the workforce?
Introduction
-
Problem
There has been an ongoing debate over Singapore’s open door policy to
foreign immigrants (workers and talents) and whether such policies have created
more harm than good for the nation. While the nation thrives as an economic
giant, it is apparent that the heavy presence of foreign immigrants has also been
a source of tension for the locals here.
-
Solution
Creating a balance between boosting Singapore’s economic progress and
appeasing the locals’ distress and anxiety towards economic and social issues.
-
Thesis Statement
The limitation of foreign power’s influence in Singapore will appease
the tension and raise satisfaction in the lives of Singaporeans.
Body Paragraph
-
Topic sentence
Singaporeans are unhappy with the government’s decision to allow in more
foreign workers.
-
Brief description of problem
-
Singaporeans
have attributed to the government's open-door immigration policy, the country's
overcrowding and falling reliability of its public transportation system,
increasing property prices for housing, suppressed wage level, increased
competition for jobs and education, increasing income inequality and other
social problem.
-
Description of one existing solution
The new
Fair Consideration Framework requires companies advertising government job
vacancies target only locals for at least 14 days before hiring foreigners.
Effectiveness of solution
-
Limitations
Not enough awareness made on such existing solutions. The framework
should also still remain open to locals even after 14 days and not focus only
on foreigners thereafter.
-
Improvements to existing solution
Advertisements have to be made attractive and publicity material has to
be extensive in order to raise awareness and attract locals respectively.
