Future Economy Programme (NEW!) As one of the 4 Asian Tigers, Singapore’s economy is largely state directed, focusing on high value-added services enabled by a heavy reliance on an imported workforce. Today, we live in a time of rapid globalisation and disruption where about half of the jobs in 2020 are unknown to us, and yet, half of the jobs today will be obsolete. Will a state-heavy growth model be sustainable in the long term? How can students gear themselves up for the future economy?
