Shining a spotlight on Singapore's most vulnerable

SMU’s Lien Centre for Social Innovation (LCSI) recently launched a series of applied research initiatives to understand the challenges faced by vulnerable groups, and directly engaging with them to formulate policies and help solve their problems. At the launch event held on June 26 at SMU, LCSI researchers released a set of three reports on vulnerable groups in Singapore: single-parent families, people with physical disabilities, and the elderly. The publications are a follow-up to A Handbook on Poverty, Inequality and Unmet Social Needs in Singapore, a report which was published in March 2015 by LCSI.
