摘要

Singapore’s growth from its independence in 1965 to present day is truly remarkable.Much of the country’s economic success is due to the policies and strategies implementedby the Singaporean government and its agency the Economic Development Board (EDB).These include active promotion and targeting of foreign multinationals (MNCs) to investin the country, a dynamic sectoral allocation of industries, and a shrewd use of bothskilled and unskilled foreign labor.As foreign investment into Singapore has increased throughout the years, so have theamount of foreign laborers in Singapore. The government has always had an open-doorpolicy for foreign skilled workers aiding Singapore to achieve its goals ofindustrialization and subsequent upgrading. With economic growth, the need for lowskilledforeign workers also emerged to maintain the country’s competitiveness. Theseworkers would help to keep wages low, fill in labor shortages, and do menial jobs thatSingaporeans would increasingly refuse to do.The aim of this paper is to show how foreign MNCs, skilled labor, and unskilled laborhave intertwined in Singapore’s growth story, and the extent to which this foreigndimension has contributed to the story. The story begins in the early 1960s whenSingapore first made the push for foreign MNC operations to invest in Singapore, but theauthors’ analysis will mostly focus on the period post-1980 where data is more availableon foreign MNCs and labor.
