统计局称本地居民平均月入1万1780元

今日,本地中英主流媒体都有刊载来自新加坡统计局发布的数据,该局公布五年一度的家庭开支调查报告,其中指出,本地居民平均每月家庭收入达到1万1780元,高于2012/13年的约1万零470元,年均增幅约2.4巴仙。

但是一些网民对于这样的数据感到“难以置信”,这是因为家庭月入1万1780元,假设家中有两夫妻同时打工,平均两人收入达到5890元,但事实上许多人的薪资根本没有那么高。

之前有网民分享,一名外卖快递员若勤劳工作,每月收入可达到四千余元,而也有青年开私召车,每月确实可净赚5000元,但那也要每日不间断开车12-14小时、平均载客20-25趟才有办法赚到。

另外还记得本社此前报导,总统府聘请管家和厨师的招聘广告?助理高级管家的薪酬大约在1400-2000元之间,并以2000至2500元之间薪资招聘厨师。

而根据人力部的数据,专业厨师(40-49岁)中位数薪资,约为3532元,而扣除公积金后,所得也至少有2826元。

所以让我们假定:某家庭两夫妻都出外挣钱,丈夫开私召车每月净赚五千元,而妻子是餐馆专业厨师,扣除公积金后带回家收入2826元,加起来也只有7826元,哪有统计局公布的那么多?

根据统计局定义,居民指的是,以新加坡公民或永久居民为一家之主的家庭,而家庭收入包括雇佣收入、经商收入和其他非工作所得收入如投资、租金收益和政府津贴等等。

与此同时,本地居民平均每月家庭开销达到4910元,但年均增幅比起2012/13年仅为0.8巴仙,故此,统计局得出结论,五年期间家庭收入增长快于家庭开支。

报告也指收入最高20巴仙家庭收入增长最慢,年均增长为1.6巴仙;住在一房式和二房式组屋的家庭,收入增长最快,年均增长6.3巴仙。

报告指出,收入最低20巴仙家庭,17/18年平均每月开支2570元,比平均月入2235元超出300元,他们的家庭开支增长也最快。

网民:为何不公布中位数收入?

对于统计局的报告,网民并不买账,一些网民认为,理应展示国民中位数收入才比较能反映实况,因为平均收入,就意味着低收入群体和高收入群体的收入总和起来再平均,结果就显得收入比较高了。

Angel Wings:平均家庭月入是相关差劲的生活水准指标。其中有人月入一万、但有者才月入两千,根本不能相提并论。

网民Cheah Koh Keong也提出,也有可能现如今许多青年继续和仍在职的父母同住,故此才显得家庭收入比较高。

Desiree Lim就分析,假设月入一万元,两千块就要用在各种日用品和生活永飞、四千元用在三名孩子的学前教育、一千元孝敬两老、三千元还屋贷和管理费等,这还不包括保险,即便月入一万生活也不容易。

Mohd Rafiq:骗人,难道没有向在物流、客服等领域的蓝领阶级做民调吗?一万余元对蓝领阶层来说几乎不可能,如果他们都有五千元的月入,那就皆大欢喜了。

忽略失业、零工收入和退休者

至于在《联合早报》,也有许多读者揶揄统计局报告形同”自己讲自己爽“,而且也无法反映那些失业、退休和打零工等群体的生活情况。

有者也反讽,之所以家庭开支减少,因为物价和基本生活费用都增长,再涨消费税,恐怕开销增加就要负增长了!
