A New High, As Labour Force Participation Rose
30th November 2012
Singapore’s resident labour force grew faster in 2012, reflecting
the increase in the resident labour force participation rate to
a new high2 of 66.6% in 2012 from 66.1% in 2011. The resident
labour force rose by 1.9% over the year to 2.12 million in June
2012, up from the growth of 1.6% in 2011. Nevertheless, this is
substantially below the average increase of 2.6% p.a. from 2002
to 2012, reflecting the slower growth in resident population in
recent years.
