Description
Census of Population 2000 counts of Singapore resident households by monthly household income from work and the highest qualification attained by the head of household. Qualification bands run from no qualification through primary, lower secondary, secondary, upper secondary, polytechnic, other diploma, and university. Households headed by students are excluded, and income from work includes Additional MediSave Contributions from employers. Education and labour economists use it to quantify the earnings premium associated with each qualification level. Adapted from SingStat TableBuilder CT/9065.
