    A SLEW of measures were unveiled on Tuesday to give a boost to jobs for mid-career and older workers who find themselves left insecure by corporate restructuring and technological disruptions.

    The measures run the gamut of expanded capacity for reskilling, incentives for hiring, credit top-ups as well as wage and Central Provident Fund (CPF) "transition" offsets to help older workers upgrade and to lighten employers' costs of keeping them working longer.
