Abstract
This study was conducted in partnership with Income Insurance and ROSA to establish the baseline measurement of resilience in the Singapore population so as to provide the benchmark for future longitudinal studies and render visible the significance of resilience to well-being. In view of the COVID19 pandemic, notable emphasis has been placed on resilience as a vital quality to better prepare our population against future uncertainties and maintain well-being in spite of adversity. Through this study, a set of validated measures were developed to assess resilience levels across the four domains – mental, social, physical and financial resilience. The present study examined the resilience profiles of 2,021 Singaporeans aged 26-78, and provides baseline information of respondents’ resilience levels in these domains by referencing the mean and median resilience scores (please refer to page 15 for more details).
