The Economy Is Changing. Will We Still Have Work?
Minister for Manpower, Tan See Leng and Minister of State for Digital Development and Information, Jasmin Lau join Claressa Monteiro on Lens on Singapore to tackle the question many Singaporeans are quietly asking: as the economy transforms, will there still be a place for me?
Growth is getting harder, jobs are no longer guaranteed and AI is reshaping work faster than most people feel ready for. This is an honest conversation about the anxiety behind the headlines, the support that actually exists and what it genuinely takes to stay relevant right now.
Highlights of the conversation:
01:17 Harder growth new reality
03:30 SMEs finding new value
05:14 AI anxiety and agency
07:06 Career health and support
14:03 New jobs and AI literacy
17:15 Human value and guardrails
