MOM annual tables count foreign workers in Singapore as at 31 December each year, with datasets excluding domestic workers or specific work-permit sectors and a stock-by-pass-type breakdown from 2017 to 2022. Policy researchers can analyse how Employment Pass, S Pass, Work Permit, and other pass categories shape the workforce. Footnotes clarify rounding and the composition of “other work passes.” The collection supports transparent debate on immigration and labour supply.
