Download or read book Business, Government and Labor written by Linda Y C Lim and published by World Scientific. This book was released on 2017-12-07 with total page 422 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Business, Government and Labor in the Economic Development of Singapore and Southeast Asia analyzes the inter-linked and evolving roles of private sector business, government public policy, and labor markets in the economic development of Singapore and its Southeast Asian neighborhood. It does this through 16 essays written by Prof. Linda Y C Lim, an early and long-established scholar of these subjects, and published over a 35-year period. For Singapore, often considered the world's most successful economy, the essays highlight the determining role of government's industrial and social policy through to the present day, when the growth model of the past faces many external market and domestic resource constraints. In the rest of Southeast Asia, in contrast, the essays explore how private sector business, dominated by the locally-domiciled ethnic Chinese minority, thrived and drove economic growth in underdeveloped markets with imperfect institutions, and consider if and how this might change with China's increasing presence in the regional economy. A final set of essays analyzes the forces underlying women's employment, from labor-intensive Southeast Asian export factories in the 1980s to Singapore's foreign-labor-dependent economy and its current productivity challenges. Taken together, the essays show how government, business and labor interact in the process of economic development.

This book was released on 2021-12-10 with total page 351 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Singapore is recognised to be one of the most successful economies in the world given its rapid economic and social transformation. Its success is the result of a judicious blend of markets and government, high-quality governance, and public policies that are coherent, consistent and coordinated.This book showcases the contribution of Economics to Singapore's public policymaking. To illustrate the diverse areas that economic analysis has contributed to, this book comprises three sections that span the economic and non-economic policy domains in Singapore. Section I covers economic policies relating to economic growth, trade, investments, productivity, innovation, industrial development, the enterprise landscape and manpower. Section II highlights socioeconomic and security policies, and covers themes such as income inequality and mobility, families, healthcare costs and crime. In Section III, the focus is on infrastructural policies relating to the environment, housing and land transport.This book commemorates the 20th anniversary of the Singapore Government's Economist Service. As the premier service for economists in the Singapore public sector, the Economist Service plays an integral role in supporting evidence-based policymaking through rigorous economic research and analysis of public policies.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Singapore's rapid economic growth has attracted much admiration. But can this success be sufficiently explained by canny exploitation of a niche in the global free market? This book shows that there is a complex relationship between economic strategy, social control and political conflict in Singapore. It does this by looking at the regulatory functions of major state institutions." "Public housing increases state control and forces people into wage labour even while supplying a high standard of accommodation. Singaporeans are sorted, stratified and fragmented by the education system. Racism and patriarchal relations, seen in language, population planning and eugenics policies, are integral to education. Elections and parliament in Singapore are mechanisms for forcing submission, converting submission into consent and confining politics to parliamentary politics. The legal system functions to criminalise politics and politicise crime. The findings of all the chapters are drawn together to show how the system of social control has developed in phases in response to the changing nature of political resistance."--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Singapore is known internationally for its successful economic development. Key to its economic successes is a variety of policies put into place over the past 50 years since its independence. Singapore's Economic Development: Retrospection and Reflections provides a retrospective analysis of independent Singapore's economic development, from the perspective of different policy domains each considered by different expert scholars in that particular field. The book is written by academic economists in a style that is accessible to non-experts. Each chapter includes reviews of past scholarship, current data on each policy area, and reflections on required or desirable future policy changes and outcomes"--

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The importance of fast economic growth in developing countries has been an undeniable fact since the early 1970s. Today its significance is even greater as these emerging centres are eagerly sought as bases for economic expansion by developed nations. Singapore, in its rise from a struggling colony to its present status as an economic success, offers a glimpse of the factors that contribute to the growth of a thriving economy. Widely acknowledged as the architect of Singapore's economic growth, Dr Goh Keng Swee describes Singapore's experience, which confirms some of the conventional wisdom of growth theory but refutes much of the rest. Examining the social and economic lessons learnt by Singapore, Dr Goh notes that the role of the government and non-economic factors are pivotal to the development of a secure, confident nation. Speaking not as a theoretician, but as a practitioner, Dr Goh assesses how far theories conform with practice in the real world. This book is a collection of Dr Goh's essays during his years as Singapore's Minister of Defence. Besides his speeches on defence, Dr Goh explores sociological and economic issues extensively. These essays illustrate how the experienced practitioner, by venturing beyond the well-trodden paths and overcoming seemingly intractable problems, had helped Singapore achieve the benefits of economic growth and, thereby, a true national unity. This re-issue is part of the Singapore Economics History Collection and features a new Foreword by Professor Chua Beng Huat of National University of Singapore.
