FOR EVERY SINGAPOREAN –
THE SUPPORT THAT YOU NEED
CHAPTER 3
Like many other countries, Singapore faces cost pressures, driven by wars and supply chain disruptions. But we have actively shielded Singaporeans from these rising costs.
Households will receive CDC vouchers, cash payouts, utilities rebates and other support to help with your living expenses. We will support you for as long as necessary.
Parents will enjoy expanded Parental Leave, lower pre-school fees, and enhanced support for large families. We will continue to strengthen our marriage and parenthood support programmes, to provide families with children all the help they need.
To uplift and empower Singaporeans who need more support, we will:
- reinforce social safety nets, e.g. ComCare and Silver Support
- enhance Workfare for lower-wage workers and extend Progressive Wages to more sectors
- work with lower-income families individually through ComLink+, to help them build better lives
- get children from disadvantaged backgrounds off to a good start through regular pre-school attendance and higher childcare subsidies
To build a more inclusive Singapore for Persons with Disabilities (PwDs), we will:
- strengthen the post-18 transition from school to work
- boost employment opportunities for PwDs
- subsidise adult disability services more generously
- pilot community living models to offer more choices for independent living
