Chart of the Day: Proportion of part timer residents rose to 10.5% in 2016

The number of residents working part time increased by 71,800.

This chart from the Ministry of Trade and Industry Singapore (MTI) shows the proportion of part-time workers out of all employed residents rose 10.5% in 2016 after seven years.

In 2009, the rate only hit 8.4%.

The number of part-time employed residents increased by 71,800. Within six years, the number of resident part timers grew from 156,200 to 228,000.

Here's more from MTI:

The rise of the part-time workforce could be due to both supply and demand factors.

On the supply side, there could be more Singaporeans preferring to work on a part-time basis due to lifestyle considerations, or because of caregiving responsibilities.

On the demand side, companies facing labour shortage may find it useful to tapinto the pool of part-time workers to overcome their labour constraints.

The people you want to reach are already in this room.

Every quarter, SBR lands on the desks of the founders, CFOs, and directors running Asia's most consequential companies. Every day, they open our newsletter and read our website. It's a room that took twenty years to build — and it's the one most of our partners are trying to get into.

The good news is that the door is open. We work with companies on thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. The shape of the right partnership depends on what you're trying to do, which is why we'd rather start with a conversation than send a rate card.

If you have something this room should know about, tell us. We'll tell you honestly whether we can help, and how.

No rate cards until we understand the brief. It's a better use of everyone's time.
