AWARE is embarking on a study on Household Budgets for Families in Singapore in collaboration with researchers from NTU and NUS. The study will determine how much resources households need to achieve a basic standard of living in Singapore, using the Minimum Income Standard approach. The results will have a wide range of applications in income analysis, social service design and policymaking.

We are hiring a part-time Project Manager who will be responsible for the administration of the study. The manager will have opportunities to learn about research processes and methods, and be part of an innovative research project.
