Chart of the Day: Tertiary educated dominate resident workforce

They made up 48% of the resident labour force in 2012.

The Manpower Research and Statistics Department of the Ministry of Manpower reported:

The educational profile of residents in the labour force continued to improve, as younger cohorts entering the labour force were typically better educated, given the increased opportunities to pursue higher education.

Degree holders formed 29% of the resident labour force in 2012, up from 19% in 2002.

Including those with diploma & professional qualifications, the tertiary educated made up close to half or 48% of the resident labour force in 2012 compared with nearly one in three or 32% ten years ago.

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.
