Description
This Singapore open-data dataset examines resident working persons aged 15 years and over who changed jobs during the two years preceding the Census of Population 2000. It organizes the reported population by three core dimensions: current occupation, previous occupation, and sex, enabling analysis of occupational mobility and job-to-job transitions across Singapore’s resident workforce at the time of the 2000 census. The dataset is relevant for studying how workers moved between occupational categories, comparing mobility patterns by sex, and establishing a historical baseline for research on Singapore’s labour-market structure and workforce change. Researchers and search users may use it to investigate occupational switching in Singapore around 2000, compare current and former occupations, explore gender differences in job changes, support historical labour-market analysis, or locate census-based evidence for policy, academic, demographic, and workforce research. The source is the Singapore Department of Statistics; the data were last updated on 31 March 2016, have a stated update frequency of 10 years, and are associated with the Census of Population 2000.
