Resident Population Aged 15 Years and Over by Language Literate In, Economic Status and Sex (General Household Survey 2015)

Description

General Household Survey 2015 estimates in thousands of Singapore residents aged 15 and over by language literate in, economic status, and sex. Economic status splits into economically active, further divided into working and unemployed, and economically inactive, each with total, male, and female counts. Labour and language researchers use the CSV to relate literacy to labour force participation. Adapted from SingStat TableBuilder CT/8431.
