satisfaction singapore

According to a survey by Blackbox Research, the Government regained ground in citizen satisfaction for the last quarter and finished the year with a slightly better index score under its Blackbox Policy Satisfaction Index.

The survey which was carried out between October and December 2014, is made up from responses of over 3,000 residents.

Blackbox Research claims the survey group to be representative of Singapore’s population. But even so, the top increase of satisfaction by residents recorded on the issue of transportation leaves the credibility of the survey questionable.

Apart from transportation, satisfaction is also said to be have increased for issues on jobs and government accountability.

The areas which satisfaction levels are the lowest are tax, crime and CPF.

For the upcoming General Elections, the survey shows that Singaporeans in different areas have different perceptions of whether they think the PAP will win more votes than they did in the last election.

Of those who have been surveyed, residents from the central district are more optimistic of the results by the incumbent goverment with 73% saying that the PAP would probably get the same or more votes than last election while the other 27% said that they would probably do worse than in 2011.

As for the other areas, those who think that PAP would probably perform better than last election area as follow;

  • North, 62%
  • North-East, 65%
  • East, 54%
  • West, 60%

Overall, a majority of respondents felt that the PAP would probably get more votes than it did in 2011 when it won 60.1% of the valid votes in the election. But the percentage of that has dropped since the last quarter.

第三季度劳动市场表现“喜忧参半” 裁员、失业率上升

人力部今日公布第三季度劳动市场报告,指该季度表现“喜忧参半”,揭露失业与长期失业率有所上升。 根据人力部声明,指第三季度就业率提升、裁员率保持较低水平,就业总人数(不包括外籍女佣在内)增加2万1700人。前个季度增长6200人,去年同期为增长1万6700人。 就业增长大部分来自服务业、社区、社会和个人服务、行政和支援服务等。 至于第三季度的裁员达2430人,比起上季度2320人略高,人力部认为这主要是因为企业正进行重组。 尽管就业人数显著增加,但第三季度的经季节性调整(seasonally-adjusted)的失业率却上升,总体上从2.2巴仙增至2.3巴仙,公民失业率则从3.2巴仙上升到3.3巴仙。 至于同期长期失业率从今年6月的0.6巴仙,增至9月份的0.7巴仙。 然而,经季节性调整的职位空缺,也从6月份的4万7700份,降至9月份的4万2200份职缺。 不过,人力部仍坚称裁员率仍低,过去12个月的裁员人数(10490人)仍比前两年低。 “尽管职缺有所减少,但仍有工作机会,特别是服务领域的PMET。” 人力部称需要更大的努力,来协助失业求职者克服职业不匹配的问题,以便填补其余的职缺。 “求职者技能与工作不匹配” 此前,针对人力部公布的2019年第三季度劳动市场预先报告,人力部长杨莉明在脸书上称,就业率与失业率的上升很可能是因为求职者的技能与业者所需不符,亦有可能是因为工作内容并不具吸引力。…
