Description

General Household Survey 2015 estimates, in thousands, of Singapore resident working persons aged 15 and over by usual mode of transport to work, employment status, and sex. Employment categories include employers, own-account workers, employees, and contributing family workers, each with male and female breakdowns. The figures exclude full-time students and people overseas for more than six months. Transport and labour researchers can compare commuting choices across employment arrangements.
