2024年10月16日，新加坡人力部政務部長顏曉芳女士代表人力部長在國會答覆蒙巴登單選區議員林謀泉有關畢業六個月內無法找到工作的畢業生及其就業機會評估的相關問題。
以下內容為新加坡眼根據國會英文資料翻譯整理：
林謀泉（蒙巴登單選區議員）先生詢問人力部長：
(a) 人力部是否跟蹤畢業六個月內無法找到工作的畢業生人數？
(b) 過去三年，應屆畢業生的就業機會是減少還是增加？
顏曉芳（人力部政務部長，代表人力部部長）女士：議長先生，各高等教育機構 (IHL) 通過年度畢業生就業調查，跟蹤其各自畢業生畢業六個月後的就業結果。在尋找工作的應屆大學畢業生中，就業率在過去三年中一直保持高位和穩定。2023 年畢業生中約有90% 在畢業六個月內就業，與 COVID-19 之前的水平相當。
議長先生：有請林謀泉先生。
林謀泉先生（蒙巴登單選區議員）：請問政務部長是否有具體的統計數據，而不僅僅是 90%？那麼，10% 的人在六個月內找不到工作，但絕對數字是多少？人力部是否有 2022 年和 2021 年（即過去三年）的數據？
顏曉芳（人力部政務部長，代表人力部部長）女士：感謝議員的補充問題。過去三年，這一比例也約為 90%。因此，差異並不大。
議員可能擔心應屆畢業生的就業機會。我想指出，我們沒有應屆畢業生整體工作崗位的統計數據，因為如果僱主指定某些工作崗位僅適用於應屆畢業生，這將違反職場公平性。不過，一個很好的替代指標是已公布的職位空缺與失業人員的比例，它可以代表所有工人都有工作機會。截止2024 年 6 月，這一比例保持穩定在 1.67，這表明我們的應屆畢業生仍然能夠找到工作。
以下是英文質詢內容：
Mr Lim Biow Chuanasked the Minister for Manpower (a) whether the Ministry tracks the number of graduates who are unable to find jobs within six months of graduation; and (b) whether job opportunities for new graduates have reduced or improved over the last three years.
The Minister of State for Manpower (Ms Gan Siow Huang) (for the Minister for Manpower): Mr Speaker, the Institutes of Higher Learning (IHLs) track the employment outcomes of their respective graduates six months after graduation through the annual Graduate Employment Survey. Amongst fresh IHL graduates who are looking for jobs, the employment rate has remained high and stable over the past three years. About 90% of the 2023 cohort were employed within six months of graduation, comparable to pre-COVID-19 levels.
Mr Speaker: Mr Lim Biow Chuan.
Mr Lim Biow Chuan (Mountbatten): May I ask the Minister of State whether she has specific statistics rather than just 90%? So, 10% cannot find jobs within six months, but how many is that in absolute terms? Does the Ministry of Manpower have the figures for 2022 and 2021, that is, last three years?
Ms Gan Siow Huang: I thank the Member for the supplementary question. They are also about 90% for the past three years. So, that variation has not been significant.
The Member might be concerned about the availability of jobs for fresh graduates. I would like to say that statistics on job roles for fresh graduates as a group, are not available as it would be in breach of workplace fairness if employers were to specify that certain job roles are intended for fresh graduates only. But a good proxy is the published ratio of job vacancies to unemployed persons as a proxy for the availability of job opportunities for all workers. This ratio has remained stable at 1.67 in June 2024 and this is an indication that our fresh graduates should still be able to find jobs.
