Source: SINGAPORE DEPARTMENT OF STATISTICS Data Last Updated: 07/02/2024 Update Frequency: Annual Survey period: Household Income From Work, Annual 2000-2023 Footnotes: Note: A resident household refers to a household where the household reference person is a Singapore citizen or permanent resident. A resident employed household refers to a resident household with at least one employed person. It is notable, for example, that some resident employed households in the lowest 10% owned a car (16.0%), employed a domestic worker (14.7%), lived in private property (8.0%) or were with household reference persons aged 65 years and over (36.6%) in 2023. It is also important to recognise that not all households are consistently in the same decile group from one year to the next. For example, a household may move down from a higher decile in a particular year due to the temporary unemployment of a household member, before moving up the deciles when the member resumes employment in the subsequent year. In comparing the performance of any particular decile group over time, it is therefore relevant to note that the comparison may not pertain to the same group of households.
