@LetsuniteGld @Zweli_Qhabi Another fun fact: between 2012 and 2015, poverty in Singapore increased by 43.45%. Poverty levels among the old age population increased by 74.32% in the same period.
@LetsuniteGld @Zweli_Qhabi Singapore has one of the largest income gaps in the world. Wealth is disproportionately spread among wealthy foreigners while native Singaporeans live in poverty and often have lower-paying jobs.
@LetsuniteGld @Zweli_Qhabi Singapore does not have a national minimum wage. This means that there is no standard for the lowest an employer has to pay an employee, leaving many laborers without enough money to reach an acceptable standard of living
@LetsuniteGld @Zweli_Qhabi Singapore is the 2nd most expensive city to live in. Along with wealth inequalities, lack of minimum wage laws and other factors, contributes to the continuation of the poverty cycle in the city
