書面答弁 · 2026-05-06 · 議会 15
AIが労働者の競争力と雇用可能性に与える影響の評価と、影響を受ける労働者への的を絞った支援策
労働者党のホー・ティンルー議員はAIの労働市場への影響について人材相に2件の書面質問を行った。AIスキルの賃金プレミアムの最新評価と業種・職位による差異、そして代替リスクが最も高い職種の評価と、事務・バックオフィス・初級ナレッジ職の労働者への的を絞った介入策を問うた。タン・シーレン大臣は、人材省のデータでは情報通信・金融・専門サービス部門のPMET（専門職・管理職・幹部・技術者）の近年の人員削減率が相対的に高いが、これはPMET需要の縮小ではなく継続的な事業再編を反映していると答弁。企業のAI導入は初期段階にあるため、AIスキルの賃金プレミアムに関するデータはない。支援策として、事務・バックオフィス職の転職を支援するキャリア転換プログラム、未就職の新卒者に構造化された実務経験を提供する卒業生産業研修制度、スキルズフューチャーによるAI学習経路の簡素化を挙げ、今年後半には適格なAI研修受講者にプレミアム版AIツールの6か月無料利用権を提供すると述べた。政府は労働市場を注視し支援を調整し続けるとした。
重要なポイント
- • 情報通信・金融・専門サービスのPMET削減率が高め、政府は需要縮小でなく再編が要因と説明
- • 企業のAI導入が初期段階のため、人材省にAIスキル賃金プレミアムのデータなし
- • キャリア転換プログラムと卒業生産業研修が事務職と新卒を対象に支援
- • 今年後半から適格AI講座の受講者にプレミアムAIツール6か月無料提供
政府はPMETの人員削減増加は需要縮小ではなく再編を反映しているとし、キャリア転換、新卒研修、AI学習経路、無料AIツールなどの複合策で労働者の競争力維持を支援する立場。
ホー議員は事務・バックオフィス・初級ナレッジ職がAIに代替されるリスクを懸念し、賃金プレミアムや高リスク職種の定量評価と的を絞った介入を政府に求めた。
政府はAIが賃金や職に与える影響の定量データがまだないことを認めつつ、政策の重心をAIスキルとツール利用の普及に置き、企業再編の制限ではなく労働者の能力向上でAIの衝撃に対応する姿勢を示した。
“今年後半、適格なAI研修課程を受講するシンガポール人はプレミアム版AIツールを6か月間無料で利用でき、習熟を深め実際の場面でツールの活用を練習できるようになる。”

41 Ms He Ting Ru asked the Minister for Manpower (a) what is the Ministry's latest assessment of the salary premium for workers with AI skills in Singapore, including how it varies by sector and seniority; and (b) what further steps will be taken to ensure Singaporean workers acquire these skills and remain competitive in the labour market.
42 Ms He Ting Ru asked the Minister for Manpower (a) what is the Ministry's latest assessment of the top occupations at risk of displacement in Singapore; and (b) what targeted interventions are being considered to address concerns about employability, especially for workers in clerical, back-office and entry-level knowledge roles.
Dr Tan See Leng : The Ministry of Manpower's (MOM's) data shows that professional, managers, executives and technicians (PMETs) in the information and communications, financial services and professional services sectors have seen relatively higher retrenchment incidence in recent years, compared to employees in other sectors and occupation groups. Higher incidence of retrenchment indicates ongoing restructuring rather than a contraction in PMET demand.
MOM does not have data on salary premiums for artificial intelligence (AI) skills, as AI adoption by companies in Singapore is still in their early stages. Employee salaries depend on many factors beyond AI proficiency, including sector, experience and market conditions.
To support Singaporeans in acquiring skills, including for AI, to remain competitive, the Government has taken several steps.
First, supporting access to good jobs and opportunities. Workforce Singapore's Career Conversion Programmes supports individuals, including those in clerical and back-office roles, to pivot into new job roles with good longer-term prospects. For fresh graduates who have not found full-time jobs, the Graduate Industry Traineeship scheme provides structured, industry-relevant work experience to help them gain a foothold in the labour market.
To support workers specifically in building AI capabilities, we are strengthening access to AI-related training. SkillsFuture Singapore is making AI learning pathways easier to navigate, so that working adults can identify courses suited to their proficiency levels and sought by employers.
We are also encouraging broader adoption of AI tools. Later this year, Singaporeans who take up eligible AI training courses will receive six months complimentary access to premium versions of AI tools, to build familiarity and allow them to practice applying these tools in real-world contexts.
We will continue to monitor labour market trends closely and calibrate our support as jobs evolve, to help Singaporean workers build relevant skills, including AI capabilities, to remain competitive in an evolving labour market.
