Key Characteristics of Resident Labour Force
MOM catalogues mid-year Comprehensive Labour Force Survey indicators describing key characteristics of Singapore’s resident labour force from 1991 through 2022. Residents comprise citizens and permanent residents; breaks in 1995, 2000, and 2005 reflect census and General Household Survey years when the labour force survey was not run. Footnotes document income median definitions, full-time hour thresholds, and 2007 population rebasing for comparability. Labour economists use the collection as the portal entry for headline participation, employment, and income trends among residents.
Official description
* Data are for mid-year. * Residents refer to Singapore Citizens and Permanent Residents. * Data for 1995, 2000 and 2005 are not available as the Comprehensive Labour Force Survey was not conducted in these years due to the conduct of the Population Census 2000 and General Household Surveys 1995 and 2005 by the Singapore Department of Statistics. * 2007 data have been adjusted based on latest revised population estimates from the Singapore Department of Statistics to facilitate comparisons with 2008 onwards. * Data on median gross monthly income from work pertain to full-time employed residents excluding full-time National Servicemen. Before 2009, full-time employment refers to employment where the normal hours of work is at least 30 hours per week. From 2009 onwards, it refers to employment where the normal hours of work is at least 35 hours per week. Source: Comprehensive Labour Force Survey, Manpower Research & Statistics Department, MOM
