SINGAPORE YEARBOOK OF MANPOWER STATISTICS, 2013 A1
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 or
other 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
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
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 Rate is 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.

SINGAPORE YEARBOOK OF MANPOWER STATISTICS, 2013 B1
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
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, they
are 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.

Over time, the growth in median
income reflects workers well-being. When
determining how workers income has
changed 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, 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.

Occupational Wages

If the interest is in wages of common
occupations, 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, junior
management and senior management.


Gross Monthly Income From
Work refers to income earned from
employment. For employees, it refers to the
gross monthly wages or salaries before
deduction of employee CPF contributions
and personal income tax. It comprises basic
wages, 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 sum
of 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 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, 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.

1) The tripartite partners recommend that employers implement the following 3 wage recommendations to improve wage flexibility and competitiveness :
(i) implement variable bonus linked to Key Performance Indicators (KPI);
(ii) introduce the Monthly Variable Component (MVC) in wage structure;
(iii) narrow the maximum-minimum salary ratio for the majority of their employees to an average of 1.5 or less.
In the survey, establishments are considered to have implemented recommendation (i) if they have formulated and communicated to their employees, the KPI for the payment of the variable bonus; and recommendation (iii) if they have narrowed the salary ratio to 1.5
or less, decided to / in the process of narrowing the salary ratio or all along have a maximum-minimum ratio at 1.5 or less.

B.12 NATIONAL WAGES COUNCIL (NWC) GUIDELINES FOR 2013/2014

Economic Performance and Labour Market in 2012

1 In 2012, the Singapore economy grew by 1.3%, moderating from the 5.2% growth in
2011.
1
Total employment increased by 129,100 or 4.0% in 2012, slightly above the growth of
122,600 or 3.9% in 2011. The overall unemployment rate remained at a low of 2.0%,
unchanged from 2011; while the unemployment rate for residents fell slightly to 2.8%, from
2.9% in 2011.
2

2 The Consumer Price Index (CPI) rose by 4.6% in 2012, easing from the 5.2%
increase in 2011. The two largest contributors to CPI-All Items inflation last year were
accommodation costs, particularly imputed rentals on owner-occupied accommodation
(OOA), and car prices. CPI less imputed rentals on OOA inflation, a measure which relates
more directly to the actual cash spending of households, was lower at 3.6%.

3 Reflecting slower GDP growth and continued robust employment creation, labour
productivity contracted by 2.6% in 2012, after rising by 1.3% in 2011.

4 Basic wages of employees in the private sector grew by 4.5% in 2012, comparable to
the increase of 4.4% in 2011. Taking into account bonuses (annual variable component) and
employer Central Provident Fund (CPF) contributions, total wages in the private sector
increased by 4.2%, lower than the gain of 6.1% in 2011.
3
This was on account of the decline
in bonuses from 2.32 months of basic wages in 2011 to 2.19 months in 2012, given the
weaker economic conditions.

5 Accounting for CPI-All Items inflation, real basic wages declined by 0.1% while real
total wages
4
fell by 0.4%. When adjusted using CPI less imputed rentals on OOA inflation,
basic wages rose by 0.9%, and total wages
4
by 0.5% in real terms in 2012
3
.

Outlook for 2013

6 While Singapores economic growth eased to 0.2% on a year-on-year basis in the
first quarter of 2013, it is expected to see a gradual improvement for the rest of the year.
Global macroeconomic conditions have stabilised since late 2012, although uncertainties
remain. Singapores externally-oriented sectors are expected to improve on the back of a
recovery in external demand, whereas growth in construction and some key services sectors
should continue to provide support to overall GDP. Barring downside risks, Singapores GDP
is expected to grow by 1% to 3% this year.
5

7 The Monetary Authority of Singapore (MAS) forecasts that the 2013 CPI-All Items
inflation will be between 3% and 4%, and that more than half of this will be accounted for by
imputed rentals on OOA and car prices.

NWC Wage Guidelines for 2013/2014

Raising Real Wages for Workers by Improving Productivity

8 Over the long term, average real wage increases have been supported by
productivity growth. Over the decade from 2002 to 2012, labour productivity grew by 1.6%
per annum, exceeding the growth in real total wages
4
of 1.2% per annum. In the immediate
post-SARS years, labour productivity grew strongly on the back of robust GDP growth.
However, in the last 5 years, labour productivity shrank by 0.4% per annum as economic
growth was driven primarily by employment.
7

9 The NWC recommends that real wage increases should be in line with
productivity growth over the long term. Real wage increases need to be sustainable and
not erode the long term competitiveness of our economy.

10 The NWC notes that the Quality Growth Programme was introduced in the 2013
Budget to drive the restructuring of our economy towards quality growth driven by
productivity and innovation. To help companies through this period of restructuring, the
Quality Growth Programme includes a 3-year $5.3 billion Transition Support Package which
comprises: Productivity and Innovation Credit (PIC) bonuses, Corporate Income Tax
rebates, and the Wage Credit Scheme (WCS).

11 The NWC applauds NTUCs efforts in championing the Progressive Wage Model
(PWM) to improve the job prospects and income of workers in a variety of industries. The
NWC is heartened to see strong employer support for the initiative in these industries and
exhorts companies to implement the PWM as soon as possible. Companies in other
industries should also adopt the progressive wages concept and provide a clear progression
path for their workers to upskill and upgrade. PWMs will allow companies to make better use
of manpower and pay higher wages, commensurate with larger job scopes and higher
productivity levels. The NWC therefore recommends that management work with their
unions and workers to develop and implement appropriate progressive wage models for their
companies.

12 The NWC notes that in a tight labour market, wages are likely to rise. The Wage
Credit Scheme helps companies manage rising labour costs while still allowing employers to
retain, develop and train workers. This frees up resources for businesses to invest in
productivity. It will also mitigate inflationary pressure arising from businesses passing on
higher wage costs. The Wage Credit Scheme also encourages companies to share
productivity gains with their employees. These will enable wages to rise in a sustainable
manner.

13 Companies should take concerted steps to tap on the Quality Growth Programme.
Businesses will have to approach restructuring with greater urgency, as wages continue to
face upward pressures. The NWC strongly urges companies and their management teams
to lead the drive for productivity and, with the support of the unions, upgrade their operations
and invest in their workers.

14 Improved productivity will benefit companies and enable our workers to enjoy real
wage increases. The NWC urges employers to share productivity gains fairly with
workers and in a sustainable manner.

7
Data from the Department of Statistics (DOS) and MOM.
15 Taking into account the challenging business conditions, tight labour market, and
economic growth forecast of 1% to 3%, the NWC further recommends that:

a) companies give built-in wage increases to workers, taking into account the
companies business performance and prospects; and

b) companies reward employees with variable wage components where
appropriate, in line with their performance and workers contribution.

Higher Wages for Low-Wage Workers

16 The NWC notes the continued efforts by the Government, union and employer
groups to help low-wage workers raise their skills, employability and incomes. In particular,
the Government has introduced various financial support measures including the $200
million Workfare Training Support (WTS) Scheme and the $100 million Inclusive Growth
Programme (IGP). The higher Workfare Income Supplement (WIS) cash and CPF payouts
from January 2013, accompanied by the changes in the CPF contribution rates for low-wage
workers from 2014, and other Government transfers including the additional GST Voucher
Special Payment, on top of the regular GST Vouchers, will also help supplement the
disposable income and CPF savings of this group.

17 The NWC notes that the unions, employers and the Government have developed a
PWM for the cleaning sector and the Government is supporting its roll-out by procuring only
from accredited cleaning companies which have adopted progressive wages. A progressive
wage requirement will also be introduced in a licensing framework for all cleaning companies
in 2014.

18 The NWC recognises that helping low-wage workers improve their skills,
employability and income requires concerted and multi-faceted intervention by the
Government and key stakeholders. To complement these efforts, the NWC recommends
that companies pay special attention to this group in their annual wage adjustment exercise,
given that the income growth of low-wage workers has lagged the rest of the workforce.
8
To
help the low-wage workers, the NWC recommends that:

a) companies grant these workers a built-in wage increase in the form of a dollar
quantum and a percentage. This will give the low-wage workers in the
company a proportionately higher built-in wage increase; and

b) companies that are doing well also grant these workers an additional one-off
lump sum payment to help them better cope with the cost of living.

8
MOM, Labour Force in Singapore, 2012.
Give At Least $60 in Built-In Wage Increases to Workers Earning Up to $1,000

19 Last year, the NWC made the recommendation for at least $50 built-in wage
increases for low-wage workers earning a basic monthly salary of up to $1,000. The NWC
notes that as of December 2012, almost 6 in 10 of private establishments gave wage
increases to their employees earning a monthly basic salary of up to $1000. This comprised
nearly half (48%) of private establishments that had given (40%) or decided to give (8.1%) a
built-in wage increase, and those that provided other forms of wage increases (11%).
9

Specifically, about three in ten gave at least $50 built-in wage increases. While this is a
positive step forward, the NWC is of the view that we can build further on the momentum
generated.

20 To give this group of workers continued focus and attention, the NWC therefore
recommends that companies employing workers earning a basic monthly salary of up
to $1,000 grant these workers a built-in wage increase of at least $60.

21 The NWC recognises that some companies, particularly the Small and Medium
Enterprises (SMEs), may find it challenging to meet the above mentioned recommendations.
The NWC urges these companies to earnestly consider how to make good use of
Government assistance schemes such as the Quality Growth Programme to improve their
productivity and bottomlines, so that their employees can also benefit from sustainable wage
increases.

22 In addition, many low-wage workers work in industries where outsourcing practices
are widespread. Employers of such workers are often locked into multiple-year contracts
where there may be limited room to make yearly wage adjustments. The NWC calls on
employers and service buyers in these industries to make a special effort to uplift the
pay of the low-wage workers and incorporate NWC wage recommendations into
outsourced service contracts. Buyers of outsourced services should also factor the
annual wage adjustments for the workers into their contracts, or allow for the contract
values to be adjusted accordingly.

Other NWC Recommendation

23 To contain business costs in this period of economic restructuring, the NWC also
urges the Government and companies to continue to look at ways to reduce non-wage
costs.

Application of NWCs Recommendations

24 The NWC recommendations cover the period from 1 July 2013 to 30 June 2014.

25 These recommendations are applicable to all employees management, executives,
professionals and rank-and-file employees, unionised and non-unionised companies in both
public and private sectors. This includes workers who have been re-employed.

26 To facilitate wage negotiation, companies should share relevant information, such as
company performance and business prospects, with employees and their representatives.

9
Other forms of wage increase comprise one-off special payment, additional bonus and/or additional
allowance. MOM, Survey on Annual Wage Changes, 2012.

SINGAPORE YEARBOOK OF MANPOWER STATISTICS, 2013 C1
EMPLOYMENT, HOURS WORKED AND
CONDITIONS OF EMPLOYMENT

Source of Data

Employment data are compiled
primarily from administrative records of the
Central Provident Fund Board and the
Ministry of Manpower. The self-employed
component is estimated from the Labour
Force Survey.

There are two measures of hours
worked namely Paid Hours Worked by
employees and Usual Hours Worked by
persons in employment, whether paid or
not.

Statistics on Paid Hours Worked are
compiled from establishment surveys
Manpower. Before 2006, the surveys cover
least 25 employees. From 2006 onwards,
the surveys also include the public sector.

Statistics on Usual Hours Worked
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
Singapore.
Statistics on Employment Conditions
and Practices are compiled from
establishment surveys conducted by the
Manpower Research and Statistics
Department of the Ministry of Manpower.
The survey covered establishments in the
private sector each with at least 25
employees and the public sector comprising
government ministries, organs of state and
statutory boards.


The employment data from
administrative records comprise all persons
in employment. However, it excludes men
who are serving their 2-year full-time
national service in the Singapore Armed
Forces, Police and Civil Defence Forces.

Data on the number of local (also
known as resident) employees are compiled
from the Central Provident Fund (CPF)
Boards administrative records of active
contributors defined as local employees
who have at least one CPF contribution
paid for him/her. A local (also known as
resident) employee is any Singapore citizen
or Permanent Resident who is employed by
an employer under a contract of service or

other agreement entered into in Singapore.
Every local employee and his/her employer
are required to make monthly contributions
to the CPF which is a compulsory savings
scheme to provide workers financial
security in old age and helps meet the
needs of healthcare, home-ownership,
family protection and asset enhancement.

Data on foreigners working in
Singapore are compiled from administrative
records of foreigners on valid work passes
issued by the Ministry of Manpower.
Foreigners can work in Singapore only if
they have valid work passes issued by the
Ministry of Manpower.

The number of self-employed
persons is estimated from the Labour Force
Survey. The self-employed comprises
are own account workers, employers or
contributing family workers.

Standard Hours Worked Per Week
refers to the number of hours, excluding
meal breaks worked by an employee during
a normal working week.

Paid Overtime Hours Worked Per
Week refers to the number of hours worked
by an employee in excess of the standard
hours for which the employees were paid. It
excludes overtime hours worked for which
time-off was granted instead of wage
payment.
Paid Hours Worked Per Week
refers to the total number of paid hours
worked per week by an employee. It is the
sum of standard hours and paid overtime
hours worked.

Usual Hours Worked Per Week
refers to the number of hours that a person
usually works in a typical week, regardless
of whether he is paid or not.

An establishment refers to an
economic unit that produces goods or
services at a single physical location and
engages in one, or predominantly one type
of economic activity. Thus, each branch of a
multi-branch organisation at a different
location is conceptually a different
establishment. However, if in practice the
required statistics are centrally kept such
that it is not possible to obtain separate
data for each individual unit or branch, the
organisation or enterprise is treated as a
single reporting unit and allowed to submit a
consolidated return covering all the units or
branches.

Part-Time Working refers to total
working hours of less than 35 hours in a
week. This work arrangement includes
those who work half-day or only some days
per week but excludes workers who work
on and off and temporary employees who
work the normal hours.

Staggered Hours is an
arrangement characterised by different
starting and finishing hours (e.g. start time
can vary from 7am to 10am with finish time
adjusted accordingly) around compulsory
core hours (e.g. 10am to 4pm).

Flexitime is an arrangement where
employees can vary their daily start and
finish times to suit their work and personal
commitments so long as they work the total
hours agreed for an accounting period,
usually a week or month in the office.

Tele-working is an arrangement
where employees perform work in places
other than the office and the job is
performed using information and
communication technologies. Employees
under this work arrangement may be
required to spend certain core times or
days in the office. Tele-working (formal)
refers to an arrangement where employees
tele-work for an extended period of time.
This differs from an informal tele-working
arrangement where employees tele-work on
an ad-hoc basis, as and when required for
personal reasons (e.g. to cope with familys
exigency).

Homeworking is an arrangement
where employees undertake work mainly in
their homes without using information and
communication technologies. Such jobs
usually involve production of goods or
services. It excludes those who are tele-
working.

Job Sharing is an arrangement
where the workload of a full-time job is split
between two or more people in the office.
The jobsharers work at different times,
although there may be a time overlap to
maintain continuity. They may each work
part of the day or week, or alternate weeks
(depending on individual and their
employers circumstances) on an ongoing,
regular basis. The pay, holidays and other
benefits are usually pro-rated according to
the number of hours they each work.

Paid Paternity Leave refers to paid
leave granted to male employees on the
occasion of the birth of a child.

Parental Care / Sick Leave refers
to paid leave granted to employees for
taking care of their parents (including step-
parents and parent-in-laws) when they are
sick or when the main caregiver is not
available. Employees can also utilise the
leave to accompany their parents for
medical appointments.

D1
LABOUR TURNOVER, REDUNDANCY, JOB VACANCY AND
EMPLOYMENT SERVICE

Source of Data

Statistics on Labour Turnover,
Redundancy and Job Vacancy are
compiled from establishment surveys
Manpower. Before 2006, the surveys cover
least 25 employees. From 2006 onwards,
the surveys also include the public sector.

Statistics on Job Seekers Attended
To And Placed are compiled by the
Singapore Workforce Development Agency
(WDA). The Singapore Workforce
Development Agency (WDA) was
established in September 2003 to help
Singapore citizens and permanent residents
stay competitive and employable in the job
market. Singapore citizens and permanent
residents who seek assistance to upgrade
their skills and/or find employment, can
register with the WDA career centres at the
Community Development Councils, the
CaliberLink
1
and the Employment and
Employability Institute (e2i). Additionally,
trainees who undergo the Singapore
Workforce Skills Qualifications (WSQ)

1
To complement WDAs career centres, CaliberLink
was launched in Mar 2012, to serve as a one-stop
centre for Professionals, Managers and Executives
(PMEs), to help bridge their efforts to find
employment or facilitate a career transition.
courses at WDA's 45 appointed Continuing
Education and Training (CET) Centres can
also seek career advisory and placement
assistance related to the course of study.


Average Monthly Resignation/
Recruitment Rate for a year is the simple
averages of the quarterly figures. The
monthly rate during a quarter is defined as
the average number of persons resigned/
recruited in a month during the quarter
divided by the average number of
employees in the establishment.
Resignation refers to the termination of
employment initiated by the employee.

The use of average monthly rate is
preferred to the cumulative annual rate as
the latter is liable to misinterpretation.
For example, the annual resignation rate
obtained by dividing the total number of
resignations during the year by the
average employment during the year
could amount to 40 per 100 employees.
This might imply that 40% of all employees
voluntarily left their jobs during the year.
This is probably not the case as many jobs
in a given establishment are vacated and
D2 SINGAPORE YEARBOOK OF MANPOWER STATISTICS, 2013

refilled more than once during the year.
Over shorter periods of time, the resignation
rates have less repetitive counting of
employees holding the same jobs.

Redundancy comprises
retrenchment and early release of contract
workers due to redundancy.

Retrenchment refers to the
termination of employment of a permanent
employee due to redundancy. In the public
sector, it includes those who left service
under the Special Resignation Scheme that
allows redundant non-deployable Civil
Service or Statutory Board employees to
leave their organisations with
compensation.

Early Release Of Contract
Workers refers to employees on term
contracts which were terminated
prematurely because of redundancy.

Job Vacancy Rate for a year is the
simple averages of the quarterly figures.
The job vacancy rate refers to the total
number of job vacancies divided by the total
manpower demand at the end of the
reference quarter. The total demand for
labour is defined as the sum of the number
of employees and job vacancies at the end
of the reference quarter.

Job Vacancy To Unemployed
Person Ratio is ratio of the estimates of the
total number of job vacancies for the whole
economy to the total number of unemployed
persons. The job vacancies for the whole
economy is estimated based on the
assumption that private sector
establishments with less than 25 employees
have the same vacancy rate as private
establishments with 25-49 employees.
Estimates on the total number of
unemployed persons are obtained from the
Labour Force Survey.

LABOUR RELATIONS

Source of Data

Statistics on Employers and
Employees Trade Unions and Trade
Disputes are compiled by the Labour

Ministry of Manpower.

The Labour Relations and
Workplaces Division monitors the industrial
relations situation and provides mediation
and conciliation services for the settlement
of trade disputes. The Division also
investigates complaints on infringements of
the Employment Act which governs the
terms and conditions of employment.

Statistics on Collective Agreements
and Industrial Arbitration Court Awards are
obtained from the Industrial Arbitration
Court (IAC).

IAC was set up in 1960 under the
Industrial Relations Act. Its functions
include the registration and certification of
collective agreements, hearing and
determination of trade disputes and handing
down of awards and interpretation and
enforcement of terms of awards and
collective agreements.

Trade Union refers to a group or
association of workers or employers whose
principal objective is to regulate relations
between workers and employers for all or
any of the following purposes:

Promote good industrial relations;

Improve the working conditions of
workers or enhance their economic and
social status; and

Raise productivity for the benefit of
workers, employers and the overall
economy.

Trade Dispute refers to any dispute
between and among workers and
employers relating to employment, non-
employment, terms of employment or
conditions of work.

Collective Agreement refers to
an agreement between employers
and employees on employment, non-
employment, terms of employment

or conditions of work. The duration of a

shall not be less than two years or more
than three years.

An Industrial Arbitration Court

the IAC, and includes a collective
agreement and a memorandum of the
terms which have been certified by
the President of the IAC in accordance with
the provision of the Industrial Relations Act.

made by employers, occupiers and medical
practitioners in the fulfilment of their
obligations under the Workplace Safety and
Health (Incident Reporting) Regulations
which was enacted on 1 March 2006.

The Occupational Safety and Health
Division monitors and enforces safety and
health standards in workplaces. It also
promotes self-regulation in workplaces and
the management of safety and health
through industry ownership and good risk
management.

SINGAPORE YEARBOOK OF MANPOWER STATISTICS, 2013 G1
SOCIAL SECURITY

Source of Data

Statistics on Central Provident Fund
(CPF) members are compiled by the
Central Provident Fund Board.

Definitions and Notes

An active CPF member refers to a
person who has at least one contribution
paid for him for the current or any of the
preceding 3 months.

All CPF members have three
accounts with the CPF Board the
Ordinary, Medisave and Special Accounts.
Savings in the Ordinary Account can be
used to buy a home, pay for CPF insurance
(such as Dependants Protection Scheme
and Home Protection Scheme), investment
and education. Medisave savings can be
used for hospitalisation expenses, approved
medical insurance and certain outpatient
treatments while savings in the Special
Account are reserved for old age and
investment in retirement-related financial
products.
Both the employer and the
employee make monthly contributions to
the CPF. The employer is liable to pay the
total CPF contribution, and is entitled to
recover the employees contribution from
the employees wages.

emphasises flexible competency-based
adult learning, open access to skills
upgrading and clear career progression
pathways for workers to upgrade their skills.

The WSQ is anchored on the
development of skills and competencies
linked to occupational structures, in close
consultation with industries. Under WSQ,
competency standards, assessment
strategies and training curriculum
incorporating adult learning principles, are
established for each key industry.

WDA has to-date developed 33
WSQ frameworks covering key sectors of
the economy. In addition, WDA has
appointed 45 CET centres to provide skills

training for various sectors such as
aerospace, tourism, security and new areas
like the creative industries and environment
technology.

WDA introduced the Professionals
Conversion Programme (PCP) in April 2007
to help professionals, managers, executives
and technicians (PMEs) convert and upgrade
their skills and make career switches in
sectors, such as precision engineering,
aerospace, healthcare, community & social
services and training. As at December 2012,
5,000 PMEs had either successfully
completed training or are still undergoing
training since the start of the PCP.

Since January 2009, the National
Trades Union Congress (NTUC) has
consolidated its CET efforts including the Job
Re-creation Programme (JRP), and career
assistance and placement, etc under its
Employment and Employability Institute (e2i).
In 2012, e2i assisted about 58,000 workers in
industries such as Construction, Food &
Beverage, Retail, Tourism and Security.

The Skills Development Fund (SDF)
was set up in 1979 with the Skills
Development Levy collected from employers.
The SDF provides course fee subsidies to
employers and training institutions to support
the skills upgrading of Singapores workforce.
Over the years, the SDF has helped
Singapore companies develop a strong
training culture and strengthened the concept
of lifelong learning so that workers can keep
up with the changing demands of the
employment landscape.

The Lifelong Learning Endowment
Fund (LLEF) was set up in March 2001, with
an initial capital of $500 million. Through
further capital contributions from the
Government, the capital sum of the LLEF
stood at $3.6 billion as at FY 2011
1
. WDA
taps on the LLEF to fund lifelong learning
initiatives, including employment facilitation
for unemployed Singaporeans through its
career centres operated in collaboration
with the Community Development Councils;
development of Singapores Continuing
Education & Training (CET) infrastructure
and capability under the WSQ, and learning
outreach and promotion. The LLEF
complements the SDF to ensure a holistic
approach to the upgrading of Singapores
workforce.

The Building and Construction
Authority (BCA) was established in April
1999 and its mission is to shape a safe,
high quality, sustainable and friendly built
environment.

BCA Academy is the education and
research arm of BCA. It provides training,
learning and research programmes for the
advancement of the building industry and
the development of an excellent built
environment. It plays a key role in ensuring

1
Period from April 2011 to March 2012
that the skills and expertise required to
shape a safe, high quality, sustainable, and
friendly built environment are readily
available. The Academy aims to serve as
the national centre for the training and
education of craftsmen, technical and
professional personnel for the industry, and
for research and development on the built
environment.

The Ong Teng Cheong Labour
Leadership Institute was founded as the
Singapore Institute of Labour Studies in
1990 by the National Trades Union
Congress (NTUC). In 2002, the Institute
changed its name to Ong Teng Cheong
Institute of Labour Studies to commemorate
the contributions of the late Mr. Ong Teng
Cheong, a former Secretary-General of the
NTUC and President of the Republic of
Singapore. In 2009, the institute integrated
with NTUC Leadership Development
Department and took on its present name to
create the hub for labour leadership
development and advancing tripartism.

The Institute is guided by a Board of
Governors comprising senior leaders from
the government, trade unions, industry and
academia. The Institute offers various
programmes as follows:
Continuing Professional Development
Programmes;
