About REACH's Policy Study Workgroups

REACH formed five Policy Study Workgoups (PSWs) that will study specific key issues and challenges facing Singapore and submit recommendations on how to help Singaporeans to meet them. They serve as an important milestone for REACH since its revamp in October 2006.

The PSWs are high-level workgroups that will enhance REACH's role of promoting an active citizenry through citizen participation and involvement. The PSW members are  appointed by Chairman, REACH and consist of Singaporeans from a diverse mix of backgrounds - professionals, academia, the public and private sector and non-government organisations. The PSWs will focus on the following five issues: -
- Ageing and Health
- Education and Human Capital Excellence
- Economic and Employment Opportunities
- Physical and Environmental Sustainability, and
- Population and Integration
