A matter of degree SOME 65,000 Singapore residents have postgraduate qualifications, according to the Department of Statistics. That's a fourfold jump from 13,000 in 1990. There were also fewer people with postgraduate qualifications from the UK and US last year. But the number from Australia jumped sharply, to 9.6 per cent. And with the influx of foreign talent in recent years, the proportion of residents with postgrad qualifications from India and China has also surged.
Males still outnumber females by far.
For every 100 men with postgrad credentials last year, there were only 54 women with similar qualifications. All rights reserved.
