Randstad recently published its Global Workmonitor report for Q3 2011. The study is conducted online among employees aged 18-65, working a minimum of 24 hours a week in a paid job (not self-employed). The minimum sample size is 400 interviews per country.
Here are the survey results for Singapore, on issues such as part-time work and gender diversity:
- Male employees work part-time more often than female employees (20% vs. 12%).
- However, more male employees think that working part-time will damage their career opportunities (43% vs. 34%).
- Male employees are more likely to have a male immediate superior (82% vs. 58%).
- Male employees more often indicate that they would rather have a woman as manager (67% vs. 55%).
- Compared to female employees, male employees more often acknowledge that their employer tends to choose a man, even when there are equally suitable male and female candidates
