THE Census of Population 2010 released by the Singapore
Department of Statistics reveals a rise in the number of singles,
especially prominent in the younger age groups between 2000 and
2010.
Among Singapore citizens aged 30 to 34 years, the proportion of
singles rose significantly from 33 to 43 per cent for males, and
from 22 to 31 per cent for females. This translates to a 10 per
cent and 9 per cent increase respectively.
Singlehood was most prevalent among citizen males with below
secondary qualifications and graduate citizen females.
On the family front, there has been an increase of 6 per cent -
from 14 per cent in 2000 to 20 per cent in 2010 - in the proportion
of childless families.
This took place among females aged 30 to 39 years. The age group
of 40 to 49 years saw an increase of 6.4 per cent to 9.3 per cent
during the same period.
An upward trend has been noted in the number of families that
only have one child. Among females aged 40 to 49 years, the
proportion went up from 15 per cent in 2000 to 19 per cent in 2010.
Families with two children continue to be the norm.
