The key goal is to grow productivity by 2% to 3% a year over the next decade. If the goal is achieved, real incomes can be raised by one-third, ten years from now. Budget 2010 provides a major investment for this future through the following three approaches:
(i) Raising Productivity by helping enterprises and workers to deepen skills and expertise, and to innovate to create more value;
(ii) Growing Globally Competitive Companies by enabling companies to develop growth capabilities, commercialise their research and development (R&D) and to expand abroad; and
(iii) Including All Singaporeans in Growth by continuing to build a society where everyone has the best opportunity to reach further and stretch his or her potential, and enjoy a better quality of life.

I guess the only way to survive in the future is to embark on life-long learning...this can be seen from the list of initiatives and companies that the government has come up with. E.g SPRING Singapore to improve productivity of SMEs, ministry of manpower with a list of training initiatives and the 10 employability skills, building of new universities in Singapore, improving the educational level of singaporeans and moving to a knowledge-based industry. However, i think that the singapore government has to come up with more initiatives to increase the birth rate of singaporeans. I think that with the emergence of more night clubs, night activities, higher educational level and cost of living, more and more singaporeans are marrying at an older age and this will definitely pose problems in the future. e.g social problems.
