I am not expert of statistics. I make layman calculations.
sample size of 796,548
0.1% of the population (15 yo - 19yo , 20 yo and abv) are PSLE and below.
extrapolate to population of 3m. it will be 302,807 of 3m.

If you have other figures, please share.
Your stats don't even tell half of the picture, not withstanding the lack of the significance level being shown.
So are you trying to tell us that those born in the 60s, 70s and 80s are no longer living in Singapore? After all, your stats examine drop out rates in the 90s to recent years only. In other words, the stats you provided are as useful as a copy of Straits Times after I am done with my shitting.

gong cheeby jumbo too kiam to invest in one of these?
seriously, manual labour like dishwashing is unpopular. even if they pay $2k they will have problem finding someone. why don't they automate these tasks?

The job was never meant for Singaporeans, but rather the FTs. There never was an intention to hire Singaporeans.
When you have a massive influx of cheaper, better, faster FTs, wages become artificially depressed.
Ah, but the employers will still insist that Singaporeans are too picky...so, left with no choice, poor ol' employer had to hire the FTs as a last resort.
THAT is the typical spin job. A spin job done with full blessings of the 'tripartite labour movement'.
When you do not have real labour unions with real muscle and real negotiating power, the only inevitable consequence is workers getting exploited by their corporate masters.
There is something wrong. If it is $1,600 a month there should be a queue of Singaporeans to take job. This Jumbo story is now a topic of discussion and its not about lazy Singaporeans. It more about the figure, the hours required to work etc. i think it was a mistake.
maybe the actual story is $1600 without off day + weekend + PH + OT. Maybe actual basic is $500, but if the fella work 12-14 hours a day, no off, no rest, work pH and weekend, can earn up to $1600 per month

Can I ask you what is the median pay of a dish washer and its related benefits/incentives in Aussie land? Thereafter, I can comment on what you have written above.

i ever work in a hotel as a lowly cook for a few months in holiday, thus work hands in hands with the dishwasher.
that machine do not wash the dish very well, its only roughly wash off. you still need someone using a high pressure hose to wash it well and make sure the plate is free of soap.

I suspect that is the case.
Haha, I am wrong to assume, so there are and needs experienced hands too.
I use a lot of dishwasher machines in the apartment during my long trips to oz. Worked fined leh. Ok they are not for industrial use but I'm sure they are not too different.
The microwave and washing machines have already become a way of life now. The dishwasher is next.
I suspect from $15 per hour. In the 80s, packers in supermarkets were paid about $10 per hour in N America. My guess of $15 is therefore very conservative.
Isn't Jumbo boss the amen type like C K Tang?
the plate after the dishwashing machine can still be slightly oily to the hotel standard. this is how they do it in hotel (it was almost 7 years back, i might get it wrong), they use high pressure hose flush out majority of the rubbish into the sink first, then throw inside the dish washing machine, then take it out and flush it again using the high pressure hose to make sure its really clean as there might be soap foam on it.
work 6 day week,12 hr shift, no meal break or tea break no transport allowance , no Medici leave or claim , 7 day annals leave , no annual bonus or no pay increment (work till your hand rot still the same pay ), no OT pay stand for 12 hrs , and everyone (esp waiter or waitess) look down on you,dish washer also must throw trash (smelly and dirty water dripping) mop and clean the kitchen after the closing . u keep on washing for 12 hr x 6 days
so who want to work, coz i have try when i was jobless for 6 month thks to our belove GOV.
S$2000/= per month to wash dish also have, but don't be too happy.
