Singapore Immigration outlook
This document provides an overview and agenda for a presentation on Singapore's immigration policies and factors using a causal loop diagram (CLD). It discusses Singapore's various immigration passes and permanent residency schemes. It then identifies underlying factors that influence immigration like safety, culture, education and healthcare subsidies. The document explains the basics of CLDs and the team's methodology for developing the Singapore immigration CLD, which will have over 50 variables and balancing and reinforcing loops. Insights from the CLD are mentioned like the importance of a competent knowledge environment and globalization's impact on knowledge flows.

- 25. CAUSAL LOOP DIAGRAM(CLD) CLDs are Diagrams that have a visible structure of how interrelated variables affect one another. The balancing loop and the reinforcing loop are the two foundational structures of systems thinking. Causal loop Anatomy: A Node A line with arrow + or s Same Effect - or o Opposite Effect || Time Delay Symbol
- 26. Loops in CLD •Reinforcing Loop: A loop is one in which an action produces a result which influences more of the same action. It is also called the Positive causal link means that the two nodes change in the same direction • Balancing Loop: a loop in which feedback reduces the impact of change. It is also called Negative causal link means that the two nodes change in opposite directions
- 27. Design Methodology: Understandingthe problem statement Collection of information about the problem domain from various sources Identification of design method Two methods: 1.) From Loops to Variables 2.) From Variables to Loops Identification of quantifiable variables related to the topic Conceptualizing logical loops(re-enforcing and balancing loops) using the variables Diagram sketch coupled with required changes
