严燕松（阿裕尼集选区议员）先生询问人力部长，在过去五年中：

(a) 有多少常驻专业人士、经理、执行人员和技术人员 (PMET) 在达到法定退休年龄后申请并获得了重新聘用？

(b) 有多少人没有申请并获得重新聘用？

(c) 雇主不提供重新聘用的理由是什么（不包括因身体原因不适合工作的人）？

(d) 人力部是否会考虑在其季度报告中公布达到退休年龄的 PMET 重新聘用的数据？

(e) 如果不会，原因是什么？

陈诗龙（人力部长）医生：2022年和2023年，约98%的专业人士、经理、执行人员和技术人员 (PMET) 获得重新雇佣。由于数据未按PMET和非PMET细分，因此无法获得2022年之前的数据。人力部 (MOM) 并未收集关于未获重新雇佣原因的PMET数据。在2023年未获得重新雇佣的所有资深员工中，有八成不想继续工作。其余未获得重新雇佣的原因包括：缺乏合适的职位空缺、员工工作表现不符合绩效要求或不符合健康要求。

人力部每年都会对符合条件的年长员工的重新就业率进行监测。自 2012 年推出重新雇佣政策以来，符合资格的年长员工的重新雇佣率一直保持在较高水平，并且每年变化不大。如有需要，我们会考虑在年度出版物中重点介绍值得注意的趋势。

RATE OF RE-EMPLOYMENT OF PMETS WHO HAVE REACHED STATUTORY RETIREMENT AGE

 Mr Gerald Giam Yean Song asked the Minister for Manpower in each of the last five years (a) how many resident professionals, managers, executives and technicians (PMETs) applied for and were offered re-employment upon reaching the statutory retirement age; (b) how many were not; (c) what were the reasons provided by employers for not offering re-employment, excluding those medically unfit to work; (d) whether the Ministry will consider publishing data on re-employment of PMETs reaching the retirement age as part of its quarterly reports; and (e) if not, why not.

Dr Tan See Leng: In 2022 and 2023, about 98% of professionals, managers, executives and technicians (PMETs) were offered re-employment. PMET data for the years prior to 2022 is not available, as the data was not broken down by PMET and non-PMET. The Ministry of Manpower (MOM) does not collect PMET-specific data on the reasons why workers are not offered re-employment. Amongst all senior workers who were not offered re-employment in 2023, eight in 10 did not want to continue working. The rest were not offered re-employment either because there was a lack of suitable vacancies, the employees did not meet work performance requirements or they did not meet requirements on medical fitness.

MOM monitors the re-employment rate of eligible seniors annually. The re-employment rate for eligible senior workers has remained consistently high since the introduction of the re-employment policy in 2012 and does not vary much year to year. Where relevant, we will consider highlighting noteworthy trends in our annual publications.
