From the graph above, it can be seen that total population grew significantly from year 1970 to 1990. This was aligned with the economic growth that Singapore had enjoyed during that period. Non-residents population grew a lot as more foreign talents, experts, expatriates, and foreign workers were needed to support the economic growth. In other words, their existence created jobs and their professionalism and expertise helped Singapore transformed into a first world country. However, despite of the new jobs creation and marvelous economic growth, they are being accused of stealing jobs from citizens and spoiling the job market.
Singapore's hunger of professionals continues its trend from year 1990 onwards as more foreigners come to Singapore to work and more permanent resident status is granted. However, from year 2000 onwards, it seems that the population growth contributed by each resident class declines.
To see more clearly the growth pattern, let us zoom-in to the last nine years (2000-2009) of the Annual Population Growth graph in the next article.
