Employment Rate of Residents Aged 25 to 64 (Total)

Description

Annual time series from the Ministry of Manpower showing the employment rate of Singapore residents aged 25 to 64, with June as the reference month. Residents include citizens and permanent residents; employment rate is employed persons as a share of the population. Gaps in 1995, 2000, and 2005 reflect census and General Household Survey years when the Comprehensive Labour Force Survey was not run. Analysts use the CSV series to track prime-age labour market attachment, compare pre- and post-2008 revised population benchmarks, and study long-run workforce participation in Singapore.
