It's fucking bonkers, people are increasingly planning to not have kids anymore citing skyrocketing costs of living. If you are an executive you can earn bonkers but salarymen can't earn enough to support a family. High GDP but part time workers are paid sgd 8k per hour.

But do take note to exclude vehicle costs from general living comparison stats if included as most people don't drive here. Still bonkers tho.

Updated (1 week ago) above market salaries for software engineers in Sg. On the higher band as a senior with few years under your belt you can expect sgd 8k per month. For new grads median is currently sgd 5k so I believe article is citing new grad/junior stats?
