What is People Matter : Essays by David Chan about?

This book is a collection of twenty-one essays by Professor David Chan, which first appeared in The Straits Times from October 2011 to January 2015. The essays discussed a wide range of topics including happiness and well-being, fairness perceptions, the immigration debate and population policies, social cohesion and integration, social mobility, trust in society, public expectations, rationality and emotions, approaches to policy making, modes of thinking, democracy, shared values and principles, and the social compact between people and Government in Singapore. A common theme that runs through these essays is what David calls “People Matter”. “People Matter” refers to both the critical issues that matter to the people and the idea that the way people think, feel and act should matter to policy making and nation building in Singapore.Contents: Drill into What Makes Singaporeans Happy Fairness: Processes are as Important as Outcome The Heart of the Immigration Debate The 5C Challenges of Cohesion Five Cs to Manage Integration The Goals Matter, So Does the Journey Singaporeans'Well-Being: It's Not Just About Emotions Population Priorities and Perceptions Break the Negative Spiral ov
