A new study conducted by the Institute of Policy Studies (IPS) in collaboration with OnePeople.sg reveals a decline in reported racial discrimination in Singaporean workplaces.
18.4% of Malay and 16.7% of Indian respondents reported experiencing racial discrimination during job applications or promotions, down from previous surveys.
Only 3.7% of Chinese respondents reported facing racial discrimination in employment processes, indicating a significant gap between racial groups.
The study highlights exclusionary language and perceived biased promotions as common forms of discrimination, and emphasizes the need for a multifaceted approach to address workplace bias.
