Question 2: Imagine you come across a single mum who is unemployed, what are some advice you can give her? Who can she turn to?
If I were to come across a single mum who is unemployed, i would advise her to turn to the National Trades Union Congress(NTUC). As the National Trades Union Congress can help her in finding a job, joining support groups that arrange activities for her and her children.
Apart from helping her to find jobs, the NTUC's Women's Development Secretariat(WDS) can also help her in terms of encouraging her to generate an income if she she could not go out to work to make use of other skills, like baking or sewing.
