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.

Reaching the people who run Asia's businesses is harder than it used to be.

Inboxes are crowded. Attention is short. The executives you most want to reach — the founders, CFOs, and operators who actually move budgets — are the hardest to find through the usual channels. If you're building a company, a category, or a reputation, you already know this.

We've spent twenty years building the room they read. Singapore Business Review is where senior decision makers in Singapore and across Southeast Asia come for business coverage they can't get elsewhere — in print, online, and in person at the summits and roundtables we host across seven markets.

If you have something these readers should know about — a point of view worth publishing, a product worth their attention, an event worth their time — we'd like to hear what you're trying to do.
