HANDLING the labour market shock wrought by the Covid-19 pandemic requires "high-quality and effective coordination", said Senior Minister and Coordinating Minister for Social Policies Tharman Shanmugaratnam on Tuesday, at the Institute of Policy Studies (IPS) Singapore Perspectives 2021 conference.
Singapore's approach is not just to get people back in jobs as soon as possible, but to find a match for their skills and human capital, he said.
