  SINGAPORE has been ranked among the most popular global destination to relocate to, with 100 per cent of professional women surveyed saying they would recommend working here to others.

  Women are increasingly considering Singapore because of the low crime rate, tax incentives, excellent lifestyle, and opportunities for personal development in the region.

  The Global Professionals on the Move Report 2011, commissioned by the Hydrogen Group and conducted by a consultancy project team from ESCP Europe, analyses responses from 2,637 professionals from 85 different countries with qualifications of a bachelor degree or above.

  Simon Walker, Hydrogen Asia Regional Managing Director, said he's 'noticed an increase in the number of women from overseas taking advantage of the career opportunities offered here. Banking sectors in particular are looking to source experienced female professionals from a global talent pool.'

  Mr Walker explained that many global firms were setting up headquarters in Singapore, or expanding their operations to include branch offices in South-East Asia.

  With 42 per cent of Singapore's population made up of expats and overseas students, it's not surprising that 80 per cent of the professionals surveyed found it easy to settle in and make new friends.

  Singapore has so many foreigners already.

   

  Coming here means you can meet up with your fellow countrymen for breakfast/lunch/dinner and drinks everyday.
