During his visit to Singapore, part of a 12-day tour across Southeast Asia and Oceania, Pope Francis called on political leaders to ensure fair wages for the city-state's million-plus lower-paid foreign workers.
Highlighting the issues of Singapore's rapidly aging population and its reliance on migrant labor, the Pope emphasized the need for economic development to be inclusive and respectful of all workers' dignity. His speeches throughout the visit stressed the importance of addressing the dangers of artificial intelligence and advocating for the rights and fair treatment of migrant workers in affluent societies.
This appeal was made in the context of Singapore's status as a global financial hub, where the Pope praised the country's economic achievements but urged a commitment to social justice and care for the less privileged, including migrants.
