Resident Households by Monthly Household Income from Work Per Household Member and Number of Employed Persons in Household (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 number of employed persons in the household, from none to five or more. Per-member income banding adjusts for household size, so living standards can be compared more fairly across large and small households. Income from work has been revised to include Additional MediSave Contributions from employers. Social policy researchers use it to study income adequacy and earner intensity together.
