The rapid shift to a knowledge-intensive economy requiring highly-skilled services has resulted in a 'two-speed' society consisting of a highly competitive but rewarding sector and a marginalized population that is increasingly at risk. Being avowedly anti-welfarist, the state for ideological reasons has resisted pressures to introduce a comprehensive welfare regime for its risk population, preferring to privilege its productive citizenry. Is Singapore a counter-factual to the convergence thesis, by preferring to put in place a social policy driven by the belief of its leaders that the more successful a society is the more it is able to care for those who fall behind? 410 0$aSocial sciences in Asia ;$vv. 17. 607 $aSingapore$xSocial policy 607 $aSingapore$xSocial conditions 676 $a320.6095957 701 $aLian$b Kwen Fee$f1950-$01468689 701 $aTong$b Chee Kiong$01473222 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910792122503321 996 $aSocial policy in post-industrial Singapore$93755983 997 $aUNINA
