Hello,
I understand from a friend living in singapore that Employment
statistics there is usually published in terms of Residents
which includes all PRs. A PR is a foreigner holding a special
working permit allowing him long term residency.
Why is it so? Why not publish citizen employment rate
clearly?
I find this fascinating and interesting.
I like to know, which respectable countries in the world publish
employment statistics the same way.
Thanks,
Gutentaginator
Thank you for showing an intimate interest in Singapore's affairs.
Our employment statistics lump citizens and PR together because our
gahmen wants everybody residing here, regardless of duration, to
feel at home. When the PR know that they're being counted as
citizen they will put in their best, don't you think so? I'm afraid
we're unable to tell you which respectable countries in the world
publish employment statistics the same way as our gahmen tells us
that we are the only respectable country (or something like that),
all the other countries are mediocre. Moreover, our responsible
state times also never tell us. What about your country? Is it
considered respectable? Thank you and cheers! (edited to add in the
greetings as that's how citizens of respectable country write)
