Receive this whatsapp..This is in Singapore...but I think applicable to us malasian as well.. what you guys think?
Read TODAY news just published...... "More young drivers joining Grab, Uber full time.
This is a very serious problem brewing. LKY once said that if we are not careful voting in a wrong government, our mothers, wives, sisters and girlfriends will become maids and domestic workers in foreign land.
Today increasingly, we are seeing our young men and women, under 30, becoming chauffeurs for the foreign "angmohs", PRCs, the Filipinos etc in our very own country. What's the difference!
Assoc Professor Donald Low from the LKY IPS is exactly correct.
Driving Grab and Uber full time is hardly a skill-development job, let alone SkillFuture ready for the new frontiers.
The downsides are monumental and spiralling.
These youngsters can never build up their nest egg....no CPF, no skill development, no career development, meaningless job and over time brain degeneration and become permanently unemployable.
How to start a family to address our low TFR? The problem compounds itself when we see foreigners taking away well meaning and well paying jobs.
It is a massive wastage of human capital after spending so much on advanced education in an extremely robust education system. Under-employment at it's worst.
what do you think is the root cause of under employment?? businesses will always try to minimize their cost, which most of the time is human labor. every industry is or will experience this, as nowadays AI getting so good they can replace more and more of what humans do. think back to just ten years ago how many managers and workers doing stuff in an office that are not needed anymore?
the govt of the world knows this but don't have a solution (or dare not be honest)... hence you always hear the same old crap about upgrading and retraining...retrain my backside la.
