SINGAPORE — Fewer Singapore residents in the labour force faced discrimination at work and during their job searches last year, the Ministry of Manpower (MOM) said on Monday (July 31).
More job seekers and employees did, however, experience discrimination based on mental health, according to MOM's Fair Employment Practices Report for 2022.

"Non-tertiary educated females were also more likely to experience pay-related discrimination than their male counterparts.MORE SEEKING HELP
