Agenda:
1.Objective
2.Overview of immigration policies
3.Identifying the underlying factors of immigration
4.Causal loop diagram basics
5.Development methodology
6.Singapore Immigration CLD
7.Conclusion
Objective :
Describing Singapore Immigration and its influencing factors using Causal Loop Diagram.
As per description from the course outline document
“Study the immigration policies of Singapore, including the criteria of accepting PR applications, doing national service, how new comers should integrate, attitudes of Singaporeans, policies taken by the Government, etc. Using the principles of Causal Loop Analysis, draw a set of CLD consisting of at least 50 variables with the associated links and Balancing and Reinforcing loops.”

Identifying the underlying Factors of Immigration
• A number of factors influence the people migrating to a specific country.
• These identified factors form the basis of immigration policies.
• They are well planned to integrate the comfort of both locals and foreigners and thus the system has to represent a complex logical balance in the flow of people.

Building a Strong nation together…
Starting off with CLD - Information gathering
• What is your first thought on Singapore before you came here?
• The best thing which you observed here soon after acquainting with the new place?
• Reason for visit or migration? How did the Government or Singapore Organizations support and welcome you?
• Why do you consider a longer stay here?s• How do you feel working or studying in a highly
competitive environment? How is it influencing you personally?
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
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
Design Methodology: Understanding the problem statement Collection of information about the problem domain from
various sources Identification of design method
Two methods:1.) From Loops to Variables2.) 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
