Singapore Platform Worker Sector Faces Shocks
The platform worker sector in Singapore is experiencing operational shocks. Estimates suggest there are approximately 16,000 to 20,000 food delivery workers. The total number of platform workers, including ride-hailing drivers, may reach 70,000. New requirements regarding Personal Mobility Devices (PMDs) are expected to cause delivery delays. Workers face potential pressure from both regulatory changes and operational constraints. Riders and drivers face a potential squeeze from both regulatory requirements and delivery delays. New requirements regarding Personal Mobility Device (PMD) usage are expected to impact service availability.
