The distribution of labour might change once as businesses struggle to reopen once the movement control order is lifted.
Although it remains to be seen how many businesses will resume operations once the MCO is lifted, Khazanah Research Institute’s deputy director of research Christopher Choong said there could be opportunities in areas such as logistics, groceries, food retail and the digital ecosystem in addition to healthcare.
“We know who the ‘surplus labour’ are through these programmes, so the question is whether we can get companies that have seen a surge in demand to recruit via these platforms.” “Job matching and training platforms can be consolidated, and vacancy listings can be boosted,” he said, adding that several low-to-mid skill sectors would need only minimal training.
He suggested that the government set up a centralised information centre with a platform to receive feedback from industries and identify those that are shorthanded. Carmelo Ferlito of the Institute for Democracy and Economic Affairs meanwhile said those left unemployed by the MCO would naturally gravitate towards sectors where jobs are available.
