Several MPs have urged the Government to do more for people who take care of the young and old, citing Singapore's ageing population and the fact that women still shoulder much of the caregiving burden. SMU alumna, national para swimmer and Nominated MP Yip Pin Xiu pointed out yesterday that caregivers were disproportionately women, and this negatively impacts their careers and financial security. She said the Government should keep data on caregivers up to date by tracking their numbers regularly, as the last national survey on informal caregiving was done almost a decade ago. Ms Yip suggested legislating the right to flexible work arrangements as one way to support those who juggle caregiving responsibilities with work.
