Notes:

1. The employment rate is defined as the proportion of the population in the specific age group who are employed.
2. Singapore data for June 1995, 2000 and 2005 are not available as the Labour Market Survey was not conducted in these years.
3. To facilitate comparison with data for 2008 onwards, Singapore's 2007 Labour Force Survey (LFS) data have been adjusted based on Singapore Department of Statistics' revised population estimates (released in February 2008) which exclude Singapore residents who have been away from Singapore for a continuous period of 12 months or longer. The 2007 adjusted data for Singapore are denoted by the symbol "a".

The employment rate for older males in Singapore was at a record high in 2010, surpassing Taiwan, Hong Kong, the United States and the United Kingdom but remained below Japan.
