Chart of the day: More than 4 out of 5 S’poreans said cost of living went up

Older Singaporeans felt the brunt of the increase more strongly than those younger.

This chart from YouGov shows that more than four out of five Singaporeans have said that the cost of living went up.

Around 72% said that the cost of living went up a lot whilst 22% have said it went up just a little.

From the chart, we can see that older Singaporeans have felt the most about the cost of living going up. 80% of Gen X have said the cost of living is more expensive by a lot whilst 77% of baby boomers have said the same.

Only 52% of Gen Z Singaporeans have said that the cost of living is very high whilst 64% of millennials said the same.

To help cope with higher inflation, 1.5 million Singaporeans will receive a cash aid of $700 in cash from the government.

Chart of the Day

If you've been wondering whether SBR could work for your company — yes, probably.

A lot of the companies we partner with started as readers. They'd been following our coverage for a while, saw their own customers and competitors in it, and eventually asked the obvious question: could we do something with you? The answer is usually yes. The shape of it depends on what you're trying to do.

The options are broader than most people assume — thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. Some partners use one channel; most use a mix. We figure out the right combination by starting with your brief, not with our rate card.

So if the question has been on your mind, here's the easy way to ask it.

We'll tell you honestly whether we can help, and how. It's a better use of everyone's time.
