Description: This paper aims to (i) discuss how social policies in Singapore, such as the Central provident Fund (CPF), can help consumers in Singapore to manage their needs regarding healthcare, housing, retirement, education and investment, and (ii) evaluate such a policy against the eight consumer rights endorsed by the United Nations.This paper is significant as it will examine social policies from an interdisciplinary approach, including business, consumer studies and policy, and from consumers’ view. Positive and negative lessons from Singapore’s experience will provide better insights into how social policies can meet the consumer rights and achieve the set objectives.
