Concerns are raised regarding the rising costs of employment amid government initiatives to increase job opportunities.

Some businesses argue that these developments will lead to job cuts, particularly among part-time and low-wage employees. The discussion highlights the delicate balance that must be struck between improving worker rights and maintaining employer confidence in hiring.
