One attribute of such a labour market is the high purchasing power of wages for the average worker for essentials such as housing, healthcare, quality education for children and retirement consumption, which motivates Singaporeans to work hard. The second attribute is a macro-focused labour union that works closely with the government, and is able to prevent excessive wage increase.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Soon Beng Chew\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 9813149809\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9789813149809\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e World Scientific Publishing Company\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 05\/21\/2017\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 276\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.10lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.10h x 6.20w x 0.80d","brand":"Soon Beng Chew","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48137044263167,"sku":"9789813149809","price":98.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_a8fadca8-696c-485c-b2c8-81f9fc4653fb.jpg?v=1770166152","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/labour-economics-and-public-policy-soon-beng-chew-9789813149809","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
