Residents Outside the Labour Force Aged 15 Years and Over by Marital Status, Age and Sex
Ministry of Manpower (MOM) publishes mid-year statistics on residents outside the labour force aged 15 and over, broken down by marital status, age, and sex. The series draws on the Comprehensive Labour Force Survey with noted gaps in 1995, 2000, and 2005 when census-related surveys took precedence. Demographers and social policy analysts can study who remains outside employment and job search in Singapore through 2022. This MOM collection supports open-data research on non-participation in the resident labour market.
Official description
* Data are for mid-year. * Residents refer to Singapore Citizens and Permanent Residents. * Residents outside the labour force refer to residents aged 15 years & over who were not working, did not have a job to return to and were not actively looking for a job during the reference period. * 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, 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.
