The report shows that 64% of respondents said they're willing to consider employment in another country for financial and economic reasons
SINGAPORE: A new report shows that more than three in five Singaporeans are willing to move abroad for work, with the highest number of those who say they’re down to relocate being workers under the age of 30.
Singaporean respondents expressed a preference for Australia as their top choice. This was followed by Japan and China, largely due to the technological advancements and mature economies in these countries.Perhaps unsurprisingly, the younger cohort of workers in Singapore, those younger than 30 years old, are the most willing to relocate for work, with 72 per cent having this response.
One big difference is the duration of overseas work, however. Most Singaporeans who said they’d like to try working abroad said they’d like to do so on short-term assignments.What workers relocating overseas want and expect
