Latest figures published in: Labour Market Report
- Data refer to re-entry rates as at end of quarter for the residents retrenched in the previous quarter.
- There is a break in the series as demarcated by the vertical dashed line. Before 2007, data pertain to residents retrenched from private sector establishments each with at least 25 employees. From 2007 onwards, data also include residents retrenched from the public sector.
- Annual figures are the simple averages of the quarterly figures.
- n.a. = Not available
- The "Re-employment" (of workers retrenched) series has been renamed "Re-entry into Employment". This is to avoid confusion with the use of the term "re-employment" in the Retirement and Re-employment Act, which refers to the re-employment of workers past the retirement age.

Coverage
Information on resident workers made redundant is obtained from the Labour Market Survey. Before 2007, data pertain to residents retrenched from private sector establishments each with at least 25 employees. From 2007 onwards, data also include residents retrenched from the public sector. With effect from the second quarter of 2009, the coverage is further expanded to include employees on term contracts which were terminated prematurely due to redundancy.
The status of re-entry into employment of these workers is tracked using CPF records. Hence, it does not capture workers made redundant who went into self or informal employment or undergo training while looking for a job.
Concepts and Definitions
Re-entry Rate
Re-entry rate is defined as the proportion of residents made redundant who re-entered employment. The re-entry rate within six months of redundancy for a quarter refers to the re-entry rate as at end of the quarter for the residents made redundant in the previous quarter. For example, the re-entry rate for second quarter 2009 shows the proportion of residents made redundant in the first quarter of 2009 who had re-entered employment as at June 2009. The annual average re-entry rate is the simple average of the quarterly figures. The "Re-employment" (of workers made redundant) series has been renamed "Re-entry into Employment". This is to avoid confusion with the use of the term "re-employment" in the Retirement and Re-employment Act, which refers to the re-employment of workers past the retirement age.
