“…Table 2 shows Singapore's foreign workers and indicates that those increase rapidly from 248,000 foreign workers constituting 16.1% of the total labor force in 1990 to 612,200 foreign workers constituting 29.2% of the total labor force in 2000. Furthermore, Piper (2004) and Yeoh (2007) offer further that about 112,200 of these foreign workers fall under the category of skilled labor in 2000, that is, skilled workers account for 18.3% (which is equal to 112,200/612,200) of Singapore's total foreign workers. More specification, we observe that Singapore's immigration policies alter the distribution of human capital (Table 2), and then lead to a change in the POT and industrial structure.…”
