LABOUR FORCE
Source of Data
Statistics on the Labour Force,
Employed and Unemployed Persons are
compiled from the Labour Force Survey
conducted by the Manpower Research and
Statistics Department of the Ministry of
Manpower.
The Comprehensive Labour Force
Survey effectively covers at least 25,000
private households. The objective of the
survey is to collect data on the economic
activities of the population, including
detailed information on employment and
unemployment, characteristics of the labour
force and economically inactive persons.
The March, September and
December surveys effectively cover at least
8,800 households each. The objective of
these surveys is to obtain estimates on
unemployment.
As the Labour Force Survey is
on households, it excludes workers living in
construction worksites, dormitories and
workers quarters at the workplace and
persons commuting from abroad to work in
Singapore. Estimates of the total labour
force are derived by combining data on
residents obtained from the survey with
foreign workforce data compiled from
administrative records.
Concepts and Definitions
The reference period refers to the
week preceding the date of the survey
interview.
Employed Persons refer to
persons aged fifteen years and over who
during the reference period:
i) work for one hour or more either for pay,
profit or family gains; or
ii) have a job or business to return to but
are temporarily absent because of illness,
injury, breakdown of machinery at
workplace, labour management dispute orother reasons.
Members of the Singapore Armed
Forces including full-time National
Servicemen are included in the persons
employed, unless otherwise specified.
Unemployed Persons refer to
persons aged fifteen years and over who
during the reference period were:
i) not working, (i.e. were not in salaried or
self employment);
ii) actively looking for a job; and
iii) available for work.
They include persons who are not working
but are taking steps to start their own
8/10/2019 Singapore Year Book of Manpower Statistics, 2013
16/197
A2 SINGAPORE YEARBOOK OF MANPOWER STATISTICS, 2013
business or taking up a new job after the
reference period.
Economically Active Persons
refer to persons aged fifteen years and over
who are either employed (i.e. working) or
unemployed (i.e. available and actively
looking for work) during the reference
period. This group is also known as the
labour force.
The Age-Sex Specific Labour
Force Participation Rateis defined as the
percentage of economically active persons
to the population in the specific sex and age
group.
The Unemployment Rate is defined
as the percentage of unemployed persons
to economically active persons (i.e. those
working or seeking work) aged fifteen years
and over.

INCOME, EARNINGS AND WAGES
Source of Data
Statistics on Gross Monthly Income
From Work are compiled from the
Comprehensive Labour Force Survey. The
survey covers a sample of private
households on the main island of
Singapore. It excludes workers living in
construction worksites, dormitories and
workers' quarters at the workplace and
persons commuting from abroad to work in
Singapore.
Statistics on Average (Mean)
Monthly Earnings are compiled based on
the payroll of contributors to the Central
Provident Fund (CPF). The data cover full-time and part-time employees who have
CPF contributions. They exclude identifiable
self-employed persons who have made
CPF contributions.
Statistics on Annual Wage Changes
are compiled from the Survey on Annual
Wage Changes conducted by the
Manpower Research and Statistics
Department of the Ministry of Manpower.
The survey covers private sector
establishments each with at least 10
employees. The data collected pertain to
full-time resident employees in continuous
employment of at least one year.
Statistics on Occupational Wages
are compiled from the Occupational Wage
Survey conducted by the CPF Board
on behalf of the Ministry of Manpower. The
survey covers the occupational wages of
full-time resident employees of a sample of
private sector establishments each with at
least 25 employees.
Wage and wage-related guidelines
are provided by the National Wages Council
(NWC). The NWC, established in February
1972, is a tripartite body comprising
representatives from government,
employers and employees. Although its
recommendations are not mandatory, theyare widely accepted and followed.
Statistical Note
Gross Monthly Income From Work
For income earned by individuals
from employment (comprising employees
and the self-employed), we rely on Gross
Monthly Income From Work. Specifically for
the income of a typical worker, we look at
the median income. This is the income of
the worker in the middle of the income
distribution, i.e. half of the workers earned
more than this income and half, less.
8/10/2019 Singapore Year Book of Manpower Statistics, 2013
32/197
SINGAPORE YEARBOOK OF MANPOWER STATISTICS, 2013B2
Over time, the growth in median
income reflects workers well-being. When
determining how workers income haschanged over time, it is more meaningful to
focus on the income growth among those in
full-time employment, so as to avoid picking
up the effects due to changes in
composition of full-timers and part-timers in
the workforce. Moreover, full-timers form
the bulk of workers in Singapore.
Average (Mean) Monthly Earnings
Available quarterly, Average (Mean)
Monthly Earnings (AME) provides a timely
rough gauge of average wage movement.
However, the AME can be influenced by the
changing mix of full-time and part-time
workers and variations in overtime as the
data are compiled based on the payroll of
contributors to the Central Provident Fund
(CPF) which do not allow for breakdown
separately to full-timers and part-timers.
Also, as AME pertains to mean
earnings, it can be skewed upwards by a
small number of very high income earners.
For income of a typical worker, usersshould refer to the median Gross Monthly
Income From Work and for wage growth of
employees they can refer to the Annual
Wage Changes.
Occupational Wages
If the interest is in wages of commonoccupations, we refer to the Occupational
Wage Survey for the wages of over 300
occupations. Commonly used for salary
benchmarking, the occupational wage data
do not include bonuses, which are more
closely linked to performances of the
individual and establishment. Data on
Occupational Wages pertain to full-time
resident employees and are available in
terms of monthly basic and gross wages
(excluding bonuses).
Annual Wage Changes
An indicator of whether employees
are experiencing wage growth is the Annual
Wage Changes. This refers to wage
changes of full-time resident employees in
continuous employment of at least one
year. Obtained from the Survey on Annual
Wage Changes, this is the only source that
provides breakdown of total wage changes
into changes in basic wages and bonuses
and for three categories of employees,
namely the rank-and-file, juniormanagement and senior management.
Concepts and Definitions
Gross Monthly Income From
Work refers to income earned from
employment. For employees, it refers to the
8/10/2019 Singapore Year Book of Manpower Statistics, 2013
33/197
SINGAPORE YEARBOOK OF MANPOWER STATISTICS, 2013 B3
gross monthly wages or salaries before
deduction of employee CPF contributions
and personal income tax. It comprises basicwages, overtime pay, commissions, tips,
other allowances and one-twelfth of annual
bonuses. For self-employed persons, gross
monthly income refers to the average
monthly profits from their business, trade or
profession (i.e. total receipts less business
expenses incurred) before deduction of
income tax.
Average (Mean) Monthly Earnings
refers to all remuneration received before
deduction of the employee Central
Provident Fund (CPF) contributions and
personal income tax. It comprises basic
wages, overtime pay, commissions,
allowances and bonuses but exclude
employer CPF contributions.
Total Wages refers to the sumof basic wages and bonuses.
Basic Wages refers to the basic
pay before deduction of employee CPF
contributions and personal income tax. It
excludes employer CPF contributions,
bonuses, overtime payments, commissions,
allowances.
Monthly Gross Wage refers to the
sum of the basic wage, overtime payments,
commissions, allowances, and other regular
cash payments. It is before deduction of
employee CPF contributions and personal
income tax and excludes employer CPF
contributions, bonuses, stock options, other
lump sum payments and payments-in-kind.
Median (50th Percentile) Income
refers to the income level at the middle of
the income distribution which divides the
bottom half of income earners from the
upper half.
20th Percentile Income refers to
the income level which divides the bottom
20% of income earners from the rest. In
Singapore, this measure is commonly used
to proxy income of low-wage workers.

1) Data exclude Full-Time National Servicemen.
2) The Comprehensive Labour Force Survey was not conducted in 2005 due to the conduct of the General Household Survey 2005 by the Department of Statistics, Ministry of Trade and Industry.
3) As the income data are captured from a sample survey, the income changes tend to be more volatile over shorter (e.g. year-on-year) than longer periods (e.g. 5 or 10 years) for the 20th percentile nearer
the end of the income spectrum.

1) Average (Mean) Monthly Earnings refer to all remuneration received before deduction of the employee Central Provident Fund (CPF) contributions and personal income tax. It comprises basic wages,
overtime pay, commissions, allowances and bonuses but exclude employer CPF contributions.
3) Average (Mean) Monthly Earnings (AME) covers employees who contribute to the Central Provident Fund. Available quarterly, AME provides a timely rough gauge of average wage movement. However,
the AME can be influenced by the changing mix of full-time and part-time workers and variations in overtime as the data are compiled based on the payroll of contributors t o the Central Provident Fund
(CPF) which do not allow for breakdown separately to full-timers and part-timers. Also, as AME pertains to mean earnings, it can be skewed upwards by a small number of very high income earners. For
income of a typical worker, users should refer to the median Gross Monthly Income From Work and for wage growth of employees they can refer to the Annual Wage Changes, both of which are available
on MOMs website.
2) Data cover full-time and part-time employees who have CPF contributions. They exclude identifiable self-employed persons who have made CPF contribution.
