7 in 10 workers believe pay gaps exist in Singapore

According to workers, the most common type of pay gap is based on age.

Most (70%) Singaporeans believe that pay gaps exist in the state, a survey by Milieu Insight showed.

According to workers, the most common types of pay gaps are based on age (73%), gender (69%), and nationality (61%).

A quarter of employees (25%) believe that a way to tackle the issue of discriminatory pay gaps is by having pay transparency in job listings.

More than half of them (59%) also believe that making it compulsory for employers to state the pay range in their job listings will benefit job seekers since they will know how much they should be paid based on their experience or qualifications (79%).

Those surveyed, however, are split on whether pay transparency would benefit employers, with 33% saying it will be beneficial for them, and 31% saying it will put them at a disadvantage.

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.
