Eradicate Extreme Poverty

Indicator 1.1.1 | Proportion of the population living below the international poverty line by sex, age, employment status and geographic location (urban/rural)

Singapore does not use international and national poverty lines as the poverty lines may not fully reflect the complexity of issues faced by those who need help. Instead, Singapore adopts a more flexible approach by providing multiple lines of assistance with different eligibility criteria, which allows us to tailor our assistance to the needs of different groups.
