LIFE is all about people and demographics. This is all the more so in talent-scarce Singapore. I will always remember when this first struck me. I was a very green undergraduate and took Population & Migration 101 as one of my degree's modules. I won't tell you how long ago that was. I took the module to add diversity to my history degree.
I learnt what you all know - that people and populations and the way they migrate around the world are the key to the sustainability of the human race, countries and businesses.
Singapore's transformation over the past 50 years has brought us all many benefits and an enviable quality of life. It has, like all good things, brought us a number of unintended results too. I believe we need to deal with these as a business community and as a society in order to sustain both.
