Resident Households by Monthly Household Income from Work Per Household Member and Highest Qualification Attained of Household Reference Person (Census of Population 2020)
Description
Census of Population 2020 counts of Singapore resident households by monthly household income from work per household member and the household reference person’s highest qualification. Qualification categories range from no qualification and primary education through diplomas and university. Income data were revised to include employers’ Additional MediSave Contributions, and the table excludes households whose reference person was a full-time student. Researchers can study how per-capita household earnings vary with the reference person’s educational attainment. Adapted from SingStat TableBuilder CT/17516.
