Description

Income and inequality analysts study how employed households, households with no employed person, and decile groups differ on assets and demographics; decile membership can change year to year.

Official description

Source: SINGAPORE DEPARTMENT OF STATISTICS Data Last Updated: 13/02/2025 Update Frequency: Annual Survey period: Household Employment Income, Annual 2000-2024 Footnotes: Note: It is notable that some resident employed households in the lowest 10% owned a car (14.1%), employed a domestic worker (16.8%), lived in private property (8.5%) or were with household reference persons aged 65 years and over (37.3%) in 2024. Not all households are consistently in the same decile group from one year to the next. For example, a household may move from a higher to a lower 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.
