    Singapore Welfare Regime-Wijeysingha 2005

    Uploaded by

    VincentWijeysingha
    Singapore has a welfare regime that focuses on self-reliance through family and individual responsibility rather than a universal welfare state. The government provides means-tested social assistance for the most vulnerable and subsidized public housing, healthcare, and education to support a productive workforce. However, Singapore lacks a comprehensive social security system and welfare spending is relatively low, reflecting its emphasis on economic competitiveness and limitations from its small tax base.
