NUS researchers conduct study and launch online campaign to raise awareness of poverty in Singapore

A group of researchers, led by Prof Mohan J. Dutta, Director of the Center for Culture-Centered Approach to Research and Evaluation at NUS, published a White Paper of their study which found that while resources are available to help low-income individuals, many of them do not know how to tap into them, while others do not seek help for fear of being stigmatised and alienated. The group has also launched an online campaign called Singaporeans Left Behind to raise awareness of poverty in Singapore, and will publish two additional White Papers on solutions proposed during dialogue sessions with the community.
