The Future of Work (FOW) survey by the Institute of Policy Studies was designed to gather data that would provide insights into specific research issues, namely:
- How prepared Singapore’s workforce is for the FOW.
- What Singapore workers care about in their jobs and careers, which job aspects they prioritise, their values and attitudes towards emerging issues such as workplace diversity and sustainability, and the meaning they find in their work.
- Singapore’s social mobility thus far, by focusing on Singapore workers’ individual lived experiences and their perceptions of their own socio-economic progress compared with their parents and peers.
- Areas of vulnerability and demographic groups that may be more at-risk as Singapore’s workforce transitions to the FOW.
The survey was conducted in October 2022 with 1,010 economically active Singapore citizens and permanent residents that were representative of Singapore’s workforce. Initial highlights of the survey were released at the 2023 Singapore Perspective Conference on “Work”, with the full study presented in this report.
