Singapore to Form Tripartite Jobs Council to Address AI’s Impact on Workers and Businesses
The Ministry of Manpower (MOM), the National Trades Union Congress (NTUC), and the Singapore National Employers Federation (SNEF) announced plans to form a new Tripartite Jobs Council (TJC) to help workers and businesses navigate the impact of artificial intelligence (AI) on jobs and workforce transformation.
The council aims to support responsible AI adoption while ensuring workers are equipped with the skills needed for an evolving economy.
1 in 5 Singapore Workers Are Overqualified for Their Jobs — Most by Choice
A recent study by the Ministry of Manpower found that 19.4% of resident workers in Singapore were overqualified for their jobs in 2025, up from 16.3% in 2015.
However, the majority of these workers had intentionally chosen such roles, often prioritising factors such as work-life balance, flexibility, personal interests, or career transitions over job titles or qualification matching.
