Singapore, Disrupted: A fireside chat with Chua Mui Hoong & Margaret Thomas

October 9th, 2018 | Children and Young People, Employment and Labour Rights, Events, Family and Divorce, News, Poverty and Inequality

If inequality is the biggest challenge facing Singapore today, what policy solutions will decrease the gap between the “best” and the rest? How can we give all children an equal start in life so that their circumstances at birth do not determine the rest of their lives? How can gender inequality be tackled so that women are better supported at work and at home?

Chua Mui Hoong – Opinion Editor at The Straits Times and author of Singapore, Disrupted – will join Margaret Thomas, President of AWARE for a conversation that moves beyond talking about the problem of inequality, to explore thoughtful solutions that will make Singapore a more equal society.
