[Policy Explainer: Career Conversion Programmes: Reskilling Singapore’s Mid-Career Workers]
By Justin Chua and Dylan Chia
4,500 workers retrenched in a single quarter, the highest since the pandemic. However, at the same time, employment also grew by 10,700, the 19th straight quarter of growth. 📊
Career Conversion Programmes exist for this exact gap: pairing mid-career workers with growth roles, while employers get salary support of up to 90% for mature or long-term unemployed workers. 💼
With jobs disappearing and appearing at the same time, how well does reskilling actually keep pace with the churn? 🔄

[Policy Explainer: Climate Reporting: A Step towards a Greener Future?]
By Heidi Goh and Lan Sin Yu
Singapore's target is net-zero by 2050, and mandatory climate reporting is one of the tools meant to help Singapore companies get there. By making their emissions and climate risks visible to investors, it allows them to make more informed decisions and encourage progress towards decarbonisation. 🌱
However, the updated rollout tells a more cautious story: Singapore set its ideal start date as FY2030 or beyond, a longer runway than most other countries moving toward mandatory disclosure. 🗓️
Does a cautious timeline reflect realistic support for businesses, or does it risk Singapore falling behind its own climate ambitions? 🌍
