Between 2000 and 2010, Singapore witnessed a huge influx of foreign
migrants. The proportion of permanent residents in the total
population increased from 7% to 11%, while the share of
non-resident foreigners has risen from 19% to 25%. This was as much
the result of the spontaneous movement of labour to economic
opportunities, as it was of active policy direction by the
Singapore government. The social impact, both beneficial and
disruptive, of this movement was felt at all levels of society, and
brought other attending public policy issues to the fore. Taking a
multi-disciplinary approach with a focus on policy and practice,
this book examines the social, economic, and political issues that
have arisen with the influx of foreigners in Singapore since the
turn of the 21st century. Drawing on empirical research, it
documents the impact of increasing levels of immigration, and
provides an analysis of the longer-term implications of these
trends, with each chapter covering a different aspect of
socio-cultural, political, or economic outcome arising from
intercultural contact and adaptation. The contributors also provide
policy suggestions to ensure Singapore continues to be a harmonious
nation and a cosmopolitan and vibrant global city. Migration and
Integration in Singapore: Policies and Practice will appeal to
students and scholars of Southeast Asian studies, migration and
social policy, as well as to practitioners and policy-makers with
an interest in migration in the region.
