2024年7月2日，新加坡人力部長陳詩龍醫生在國會書面答覆碧山—大巴窯集選區議員安迪有關合同工增加的趨勢對新加坡人收入保障和政府政策的影響問題。
以下內容為新加坡眼根據國會英文資料翻譯整理：
60. 安迪（碧山--大巴窯集選區議員）先生詢問人力部部長：
與永久性工作相比，最近合同工增加的趨勢以及商業周期縮短是否會影響收入保障和政府長期政策，例如根據「公積金」計劃（CPF）和「居者有其屋」計劃(HDB home ownership schemes)為工作的新加坡人提供的強制儲蓄和養老金計劃。
陳詩龍（人力部長）醫生：合同工中的居民雇員比例沒有增加。事實上，隨著勞動力市場緊張，越來越多的居民從事永久性工作，這一比例已連續三年下降，到2023年降至6.6%的低點。
對於需要更多支持才能找到另一份工作的合同工，政府通過我們的就業促進和再培訓計劃提供支持。這些員工可以向新加坡勞動力發展局 (WSG) 和全國職工總會 (NTUC) 的職能培訓中心（Employment and Employability Institute）尋求職業配對服務。新加坡勞動力發展局 (WSG) 的轉業計劃（Career Conversion Programmes）還為雇用求職者並使其重新掌握新崗位技能的僱主提供慷慨的薪金支持。
在退休保障方面，包括合同工在內的公積金（CPF）會員在55歲時留出其基本退休金的比例逐年提高。新加坡人可以放心，只要他們工作並持續繳納公積金，他們就能滿足基本的退休需求。對於那些退休後收入較少的人，我們將繼續提供有針對性的支持。
合同工在獲得住房津貼、建屋局住房貸款和使用住房公積金方面，與長期工享有同等待遇。政府將繼續致力於幫助各行各業的新加坡人擁有自己的住房。
以下是英文質詢內容：
60 Mr Saktiandi Supaat asked the Minister for Manpower whether the recent trend of increased contract work compared to permanent jobs and shorter business cycles will impact income security and longstanding Government policies, such as compulsory savings and pension plan, for working Singaporeans under CPF and HDB home ownership schemes.
Dr Tan See Leng: The proportion of resident employees in contract work has not increased. In fact, it has declined for the third consecutive year to a low of 6.6% in 2023, as more residents took up permanent jobs amid a tight labour market.
For contract employees who require more support to find another job, the Government provides support through our employment facilitation and reskilling programmes. These workers may approach Workforce Singapore (WSG) and the National Trades Union Congress's (NTUC's) Employment and Employability Institute for career matching services. WSG's Career Conversion Programmes also provide generous salary support to employers who hire and reskill jobseekers for new roles.
In terms of retirement adequacy, every successive cohort, which includes contract workers, has seen a higher proportion of Central Provident Fund (CPF) members setting aside their Basic Retirement Sum at age 55. Singaporeans can be assured that they will be able to meet their basic retirement needs as long as they work and contribute consistently to CPF. For those who have less in retirement, we will continue to provide targeted support.
Contract workers receive the same treatment as workers in permanent jobs, in terms of their access to housing grants, HDB housing loans and usage of CPF for housing. The Government remains committed to help Singaporeans from all walks of life own a home.
