This study explores public perceptions of Singaporeans on the provision of basic or essential needs. It asks which part(ies) Singaporeans believe should provide for those who cannot afford these basic needs. When the government is expected to provide, the study examines how the government is expected to achieve this.
Conducted from May 2024 to June 2024, the study reports on data from an online panel survey of 2,000 Singapore Citizens and Permanent Residents, aged 21 to 65 years old who mirror the general population’s profile. To ensure meaningful comparisons with those from a lower income background, an additional 500 respondents from households who live in HDB 1 to 4-room flats and have a monthly household income below $7,500 (below median household income) also completed the online survey.
