国务资政兼社会政策统筹部长尚达曼坦言,本地劳动力队伍中,有60巴仙都是年龄40岁或以上的雇员。为此政府仍积极协助他们就业,包括鼓励雇主雇佣这批中年工友群体。

他指出,尽管当中一些中年工友学历不高,但刻苦耐劳且多年来已积累宝贵工作经验,为此政府仍会确保他们能继续为国家贡献。

目前尚达曼领导全国就业理事会,在今晚(17日)的演说,他提及政府给予那些雇佣中年工友的雇主额外支持。

尚达曼强调政府需确保“没有国人被落在后头”,而当前当务之急,是为国人保住工作,确保失业者尽快返回职场等。

当前贸易和旅游业前景低迷,而政府与各领域企业合作,提供临时工作以及实习机会,让国人边工作、边学习新技能,为下一份工作做好准备。

强化社会流动性

尚达曼也指在全球爆发疫情前,一些国家就已出现社会分化现象,而我国需避免这种问题,为此,将继续确保国人有机会接受教育、掌握技能和找到好工作;为输在起跑点的国人提供支持,维持社会流动性。
