Impacts of Foreign Worker in Singapore

The reason behind this is that migration of highly skilled professionals in pursuit of better opportunities is a growing concern in the present world (Watts, 2002). There are questions that arise from such situations including the reasons that prompt such professionals to leave their countries and the consequences of immigration especially on the sector of social productivity (Zweig & Changgui, 2013). Additionally, there is also a concern regarding the policies that should be put in place to monitor the immigration of professionals into the United

The demand for high skilled, low skilled and immigrants from EU and rest of the EU has increased who can do the work. Generally western Europe proved a supply of workers in highly skilled managerial, financial and public services occupations, while the Eastern Europe supplies lower skilled jobs for example in construction, manufacturing and services as mentioned earlier in the migrant’s sector. However, it is difficult to forecast the future patterns of demand for different set skills. But there is a small reason to believe that this pattern of demand for immigrant labour will change. Most likely it can get stronger and British demographic change will occur. According to the UK Commission on Employment and Skills estimated that 1. Million jobs

However, there are many reasons from the opposite side to restrict foreign workers coming to Japan from the economic point of view. The strongest opposition is that there are enough women and retired workers who are ready to work. Mainly because of the tax system and insufficient public supports for them, Japanese women are not likely to return to their previous jobs after their first maternity leaves (Only 32.5% of them returned in 2008) (Jinkoukozou Kenkyubu). Most of them have job experience and can adjust new jobs immediately with less financial support than foreign workers need. Regarding the programs for foreigners that the government promotes, they totally failed. The policy of the Industrial Training and Technical Internship Program is to train unskilled foreign workers to become skilled human resources for the countries where they came from, but the reality is

Singapore has a capitalised mixed economy. Having strong international trade links, Singapore possesses one of the most open economies for international trade and investment.

The Singapore economy had proved its resilience during the worst post-war recession and experience exceptionally high economic growth during the 42 years since its independence. For the period 1966-1973, the economy expanded consistently at a double-digit growth rate in real terms (Kum Poh, 1982, p.1). Gross Domestic Product (GDP) at constant prices continues to rise at an annual rate of 8 percent till 2005. With population growth at 2.1 percent, per capita GDP increased by 5.8 percent on average each year (Gesquiere, 2007, p. 12).

"The migration of Bangladeshi transient workers is ultimately beneficial for Singapore 's economy." Transient workers migrate to more economically stable countries due to factors such as lack of job opportunities and low wages in their country, as well as the better working conditions offered in the country they choose to migrate to. The workers usually hail from rural areas with low-paying jobs; even those are scarce. The migrant workers usually are not very highly-educated, with most being lowly-skilled. Locals in that host country are usually reluctant to take up labour-intensive and low-skill jobs that pay low wages, as their country is of an affluent status and they have been trained and educated to, to be a part of the skilled workforce. In the migrant 's country, however, labour shortage in these areas are rare as most countries do not have attitudes towards such jobs the way locals in their host country do, so foreign workers often fill these positions in the country they choose to migrate to. This way, the host country 's economy will benefit as it now has sufficient manpower and the migrant workers ' pay are much lower than that of the locals in the host country. However, some of the lower-skilled locals may believe that the migrants are stealing the jobs rightfully meant for them; resulting in some locals treating the migrants badly. A worry for the government is that if these low-skilled workers stay here permanently, they may destroy the national identity the

Developed countries, are often on the receiving end of migration streams, the positive economic gains from immigration are largely the result of the mixture of cheap and eager labourers into the economy (Guha, 2016).
