Evidence snapshot for Singapore
Singapore has implemented several major whole-of-government and sector-specific digital and social programmes. The 2022 White Paper on Women's Development sets 25 cross-ministry actions on gender equality across workplace fairness, flexible work, caregiver support, and political representation, grounded in consultation with 6,000+ participants. SMEs Go Digital has reached 88,000+ small businesses since 2017, raising digital-solution adoption from 78% to 93% between 2018–2022, while Seniors Go Digital trained 210,000+ older adults, with online payment use among participants doubling from 38% to 78%. ScamShield's national anti-scam platform blacklisted 120,000+ scam entities and contributed to cutting scam losses by nearly 25% in 2025, though losses of $913 million that year show the problem remains substantial.
