Key Statistics and Figures Key Gaps Knowledge Gaps
Five in 100 disabled people are estimated to be employed. Singapore’s PWD employment rate is at among the lowest in developed societies. There is currently no representative statistic for number of disabled people in Singapore → to watch 2020 population census (n = 150,000)
Persons with disabilities comprised about 0.55% of the resident labour force. Most go into hospitality, F&B, wholesale and retail/admin support, with a median monthly income of $1,000 - $2,800. Low supply and diversity of job opportunities, and rigid employment models for PWDs. There is no knowledge of retention rates/duration of disabled people in their various jobs.
Close to 176,000 disabled people are of working age. Training opportunities do not improve employment outcomes and are not accessible across all disabilities.
