Singapore has just passed a new Platform Workers Bill - aimed at ramping up protection for platform workers such as delivery riders and private-hire and taxi drivers.

They will see higher Central Provident Fund (CPF) contributions to support their housing and retirement adequacy, work injury compensation and representation in union-like associations. 

The increased CPF contributions will gradually match those of salaried employees. This will be mandatory for platform workers aged 30 or younger in 2025, and optional for those who are older.

On this episode of Morning Shot, Jean See, Director for Freelancers & Self-Employed at NTUC and Nominated Member of Parliament shares her insights.
