Responding to a parliamentary question citing Q2 2026 labour data that workers aged 50 to 59 had the highest retrenchment incidence and a six-month re-entry rate of only 41.9%, the Ministry of Manpower said career coaches, the SkillsFuture Jobseeker Support Scheme, Mid-Career Pathways and Career Conversion Programmes already help mature jobseekers. It added that it is reviewing how to provide even stronger support for retrenched workers and jobseekers, and will announce details when ready.
