Shared strengths

Both groups benefited from strong indicators in personal hygiene, internet access, electricity, English ability, and digital literacy. This is reflective of strong infrastructure and basic education that have been provided in Singapore.

Shared struggles

Family savings, caregiving support, women’s reproductive health, and insurance were in the red for both groups. This suggests structural limitations around access to stable sources of income and medical resources.

When the data is divided based on employment status (employed vs unemployed), it also becomes more apparent that improvements for unemployed lower income women happen at a slower rate.
