Many young Singaporeans take on side jobs to cope with AI impact

A growing number of young workers in Singapore are turning to side hustles to supplement their incomes, driven by concerns over job security in the age of artificial intelligence. One such worker is Adele Lee, a 32-year-old personal assistant at a financial advisory firm. During the day, she handles schedules and administrative tasks. But three evenings a week, she sells second-hand clothes via TikTok livestreams, answering viewer questions and packing orders herself after the broadcast. Her side hustle earns her about S$500 (US$390) per month, on top of her nearly S$4,000 monthly salary. The extra money helps cover expenses like insurance premiums. Lee says the dual workload is exhausting but necessary, as she worries about AI replacing some of her main job duties. Many of her peers express similar concerns and have started freelancing or running small online businesses. Experts note that while side hustles provide financial relief, they also add stress and reduce leisure time. The trend reflects a broader shift in Singapore's workforce as technology continues to evolve. The government has launched programs to help workers upgrade skills, but for now, many young Singaporeans rely on extra gigs to stay afloat.
