Influences brought by foreign manpowers on local manpowers in Singapore(Outline)

Introduction

• In this contemporary global village,Singapore is no doubt one of the most popular countries which welcome and attract inflow of foreign manpowers.Inflows of foreign powers is a double-edge sword. Each government wants to exploit the advantages of foreign manpowers to the full.
• Definition of foreign manpowers--imported labours or talents working in another nation or region other than their motherland 
• Why Singapore is attractive to foreign manpowers?(open door policies-global business centre -good infrastructure-Meritocracy-incentives for entrepreneurship-low rate of  corruption)
• Why does Singapore government embrace foreign manpowers?(limited resources-small size-low birth rate)
• My stand :Inflow of foreign manpowers can bring more benefits in the long run under closed attention paid by government .Government should implement flexible policies to supervise the inflow.

Body paragraph 1-Influences

Economically,

• (Positive)foreign manpowers help boost economic growth;more productivity 
• (Negative)brain drain due to higher competition; local citizens do not bother to take low end jobs with deceasing payment due to import of cheap labours

Culturally ,

• (Positive)form a variety of different cultures; international working environment
• (Negative)discrimination ;inequality

Body paragraph 2-Solution Evaluation

• Singapore Government has implemented policies such as Act of Employment of Foreign Powers,including set the quota for imported manpowers ,improving  productivity(eg: provide training lessons);high salary levy
• Evaluation: Singapore government is working on an optimistic direction. In this way, it can help improve the quality of local manpowers and control the complains from the local manpowers while preventing unnecessary inflow .Furthermore,the effectiveness of the rules depends on how wide and how long they are enforced .Singapore government should also let the private trade owners speak up for the freedom for their workers's legal rights and encourage entrepreneurship & private sectors to generate more profits,hence more jobs can be created .

Conclusion

• My opinion : Import manpowers is beneficial in a long run ; Government intervention is rather important to help stablize the whole society .
