Singapore researchers recommend living wage of around S$2,900 per month

Researchers in Singapore have recommended a living wage of around S$2,900 per month in order to meet basic needs. They are calling on employers and policymakers to continue working to boost salaries. They said wages under the Progressive Wage Model, which raises pay through upgrading skills and better productivity, fall significantly below that amount. The study by the Lee Kuan Yew School of Public Policy involved around 200 participants, who were surveyed on a list of items and services they needed. That included housing and utilities, clothing, transport and education, among others.
