Parents wanted for a study on Minimum Income Standard

January 5th, 2021 | News, Poverty and Inequality, Research Respondents Needed

In Singapore, the first Minimum Income Standard (MIS) research project, which was published in May 2019, investigated how ordinary Singaporeans think about what constitutes basic needs in Singapore today, and determined the household budgets necessary to meet these needs for older people. Now, a new study aims to work out the minimum budgets for households.

Currently, the team is looking in particular for single parent participants for a focus group on 9 January 2021.

Criteria for focus group participants

We are looking in particular for married parents, especially fathers, to participate at this point in time. You should be:

  • married
  • preferably male (though women are welcome to apply)
  • aged 26 to 54
  • a parent of one or more children up to the age of 25 (preference will be given to parents of young children aged 6 and below)

If this is you, apply now for the 9 January session.

All participants will receive a supermarket voucher as a token of appreciation.
