Find out what Singaporeans are wishing for the country in the next 20 years

Job security, healthcare, and housing are top priorities.

According to a survey by Our Singapore Conversation, respondents were invited to think about the kind of Singapore they want to see in 20 years’ time as well as their priorities for today. Job security, healthcare, and housing emerged as the priorities most frequently ranked in the Top 3.

This was followed by safety and security as well as having a caring government.

Delving deeper, the data showed that respondents’ priorities varied by income. While healthcare, housing and jobs were generally a consistent theme across almost all income groups, public housing did not emerge as a top priority for those earning above $7,000.

Public transport emerged as a key priority for those earning less than $3,000; while a holistic education was a greater priority for those earning above $7,000.

Singaporeans valued good governance. Those earning less than $7,000 placed greater emphasis on having a caring government while those earning more than $7,000 gave greater priority to having an honest government.
