街头采访：新加坡年轻人对新加坡收入不平等有什么看法 ？

@cherylhills3227
I've been reading a lot about income inequality in Singapore lately. It seems like a growing concern among young Singaporeans.
 
我最近在读很多关于新加坡收入不平等的文章。这似乎是年轻新加坡人越来越关注的问题。
 
@lee1039
When I graduated in early '90s, it is still possible, with a good degree, to afford a private house and a car if you start from zero. Let's just say that it is impossible, or incredibly hard, to do so now.
 
我在90年代初毕业时，如果有一个好的学位，从零开始还是可以负担得起私宅和汽车的。现在可以说，这几乎是不可能的，或者说非常困难。
 
@Funcentric
Good to see your channel still providing good content! I remember the darker days where Asian Boss was almost dying off. Good on you guys.
 
很高兴看到你们的频道依然提供优质内容！我记得亚洲老板曾经经历过艰难时期，差点就要关闭了。你们做得很好。
 
@dtanx8978
its misunderstood. Singapore is a wealthy country, but the people are not wealthy.
 
这是个误解。新加坡是一个富裕的国家，但人们并不富裕。
 
@Daelaron
We actually still have the same kind of issues here in Germany, which most people would say is a really rich country. The income gap can be pretty insane. Generational wealth and opportunities through your family's standing on the social ladder, or nepotism are absolutely a thing. It's not an easy thing to solve. Just getting richer on average as a country won't solve it. More social security nets are working pretty well but if not done right can also just have a bandaid effect instead. Minimum wages are very important. As well as then forbidding employers to hire cheap foreigners, or outsourcing their production to cheaper countries. Otherwise it'll just be a global domino effect of wealthy people hiring the cheapest worker, making the local worker go jobless in their field of expertise, and braindrain for the poorer country by taking their skilled workers away, as well as making your own native population poorer on the low end. If employers hire a foreigner they should always earn the exact same, and have the same insurance etc. as a native worker, and on the more extreme end, maybe even have the employer face a tariff for hiring from outside.
 
我们在德国也面临着类似的问题，尽管大多数人会说这是一个富裕的国家。收入差距可以非常惊人。家庭财富和社会地位带来的机会，以及裙带关系确实存在。这不是一个简单的问题。仅仅让国家的平均收入提高并不能解决这个问题。更多的社会保障网络运作得很好，但如果做得不对，也可能只是治标不治本。最低工资非常重要。同时，也应该禁止雇主雇佣廉价外国劳工，或将生产外包到更便宜的国家。否则，这将导致一个全球性的多米诺效应，富人雇佣最便宜的工人，使当地工人在其专业领域失业，并导致贫穷国家的人才流失，同时让本国低收入人群变得更加贫困。如果雇主雇佣外国人，他们的工资、保险等都应该与本国工人相同。在更极端的情况下，雇佣外籍工人时，雇主可能还需要面临关税。
 
@shurakishi4707
Singapore is actually beginning to head towards how Japan is like. the young will not be able to afford to own housing in future (except BTO HDB flats - and even with the help of grants, this is still challenging).
Job opportunities are also declining. Time to employment post retrenchment is getting longer.
As much as how the world is envious of Singapore. The future in singapore is getting more and more uncertain. Here in sg, we are very intertwined with what's going on in the world. We do not have natural resources, and our markets are too small to make a difference in the regional economy.
 
新加坡实际上正逐渐向日本的情况发展。年轻人将来可能无法负担住房（除了BTO HDB公寓——即使有补助，这也仍然很具挑战性）。
就业机会也在减少，裁员后找到工作的时间越来越长。尽管世界对新加坡感到羡慕，但新加坡的未来却变得越来越不确定。在这里，我们与世界发生的事情紧密相连。我们没有自然资源，市场规模太小，无法对地区经济产生影响。
 
@choonsengteo9694
Sounded okay. Questions and answer’s going round and round. They look well to do. No worries.
 
听起来还不错。问题和答案反复纠缠。他们看起来过得很好，没什么担忧。
 
@zeytee
Whether rich or poor, it's important to live happily. We can only be the best version of ourselves when we are happy.
 
无论是富有还是贫穷，快乐地生活才是重要的。只有当我们快乐时，才能成为最好的自己。
 
@thee_others
Find me a country that doesn't have the Rich vs Poor gap.
 
找一个没有贫富差距的国家。
 
@LaiChingLeong-p6i
What i see as a very good sign is that although the young people interviewed looked very diverse, they speak in the same local accent!
 
我认为一个很好的现象是，尽管接受采访的年轻人看起来非常多样化，但他们说的是同一种本地方言！
 
@NickHau-t6j
These questions are so simple yet so difficult to answer... Having lived in both Malaysia and Sg, it almost feels like in sg, your life isnt actually yours
especially if youre in middle to lower income classes..
going out for drinks to socialise & network costs a BOMB for an average person in sg and eats up almost 1/10 of most average singaporean salary..
 
这些问题看起来很简单，但实际上很难回答……在马来西亚和新加坡生活过后，我几乎感觉在新加坡，自己的生活并不完全属于自己，特别是如果你处于中低收入阶层……出去喝酒社交和建立人脉对一个普通的新加坡人来说费用太高，几乎占到大多数平均新加坡工资的1/10。
 
@skip2malou88
interesting perspective and i can see the the gap between what people know and don't know. It's like there is 2 sides but they all still come into conclusion it's not that bad lol. interesting.
 
有趣的观点，我能看到人们所知道和不知道之间的差距。就像是有两个方面，但大家还是得出结论说情况并没有那么糟糕，哈哈，有趣。
 
@Henry871026
Singapore is a very good country but the very obvious problem is its density. You can feel the crowdedness when you go out of your own home. Everywhere is packed, parks , malls and offices.
 
新加坡是一个非常好的国家，但非常明显的问题是它的人口密度。走出家门时，你能感受到拥挤，到处都是人，公园、商场和办公室都很拥挤。
 
@NorwoodGuernsey
I'm 54 and my wife and I are VERY worried about our future, gas and food prices rising daily. We have had our savings dwindle with the cost of living into the stratosphere, and we are finding it impossible to replace them. We can get by, but can't seem to get ahead. My condolences to anyone retiring in this crisis, 30 years nonstop just for a crooked system to take all you worked for.
 
我54岁，我和我的妻子对我们的未来感到非常担忧，燃气和食品价格每天都在上涨。我们的储蓄因生活成本飙升而逐渐减少，现在发现很难恢复这些储蓄。我们能维持生计，但似乎无法实现更好的生活。对在这个危机中退休的人表示遗憾，辛苦工作了30年，却为了一个腐败的系统失去了辛苦所赚取的一切。
 
@Fr.VeniceLAI
Indeed, used to work in a Singapore-based listed company for about few years,  definitely working in Singapore and in order to secure a good salary job, a Master Level Degree would be required, preferable from among the top 120 International University ranking in the world and also specialized in the fields of engineering, finance/accounting,  business management, Bio-sciences and also Medicine and Dentistry and not forgetting the highly sought after Nursing and Health-Care jobs etc.   Otherwise, although jobs are indeed, plentiful in Singapore ... but without some sought-after qualifications and professional skilled-sets, salary scale not going to be high to afford to have a great-life in Singapore.
 
确实，我曾在一家总部位于新加坡的上市公司工作了几年，想要在新加坡找到一份高薪工作，通常需要硕士学位，最好来自世界前120名国际大学，并且专业领域包括工程、金融/会计、商业管理、生物科学以及医学和牙科，还有备受追捧的护理和医疗职位等。否则，尽管新加坡的工作机会确实很多……但如果没有一些热门的资格认证和专业技能，薪资水平就不会高到足以在新加坡过上好日子。
 
@shanwen88
SG is one of the few countries that allow the flexibility to live cheaply.
 
新加坡是为数不多允许以较低成本生活的国家之一。
 
@KatJade269
Goodness, every country, every society has income gap inequality. It would stay this way ...... the world is never a fair one. That’s life.
 
天哪，每个国家、每个社会都有收入差距的不平等。这种情况会一直存在……这个世界从来就不是公平的。这就是生活。
 
@coldhart79
Its very expensive now. Be it living, eating out, normal meal average near sgd10.
 
现在真的很贵。无论是生活、外出就餐，普通餐的平均价格接近10新元。
 
@kkcc553
Guys be clear, this topic is about INCOME INEQUALITY, not about if food or public transportation is affordable. Food and transportation being "affordable" does not mean the absence of INCOME INEQUALITY.
 
大家要清楚，这个话题是关于收入不平等，而不是食物或公共交通是否负担得起。食物和交通“负担得起”并不意味着没有收入不平等。
 
@faealan5304
Govt allowing this happen to their own citizens is mindblowing .
 
政府让自己的公民经历这种情况真让人难以置信。
 
@wilshen1992
Other than accommodation, Singapore is pretty affordable to live in. Hawker is generally very cheap. There's nowhere in 1st world country where u can find a full meal that is within 5 dollars.
 
除了住宿，新加坡的生活成本相对便宜。小贩中心的食物通常很便宜。在发达国家中，没有哪个地方能找到一顿完整的餐只需5美元。
 
@kkcc553
The guy wearing the blue and white shirt knows everything. He just decided to be tactful and not use the more direct words. Can tell he actually introspected on this topic before. Smart dude.
 
穿着蓝白衬衫的那个人知道一切。他只是选择了更委婉的表达方式。可以看出他在这个话题上确实进行了深思熟虑。聪明的人。
 
@wtIUpITp1E0wMsydV19c0FUmIXvCU
A few months, a financial survey was done for young Singaporeans below the age of 30, in particular, it targeted the Gen Zs. The youngsters were saying they are very savvy in terms of investment and want to retire by 30 to enjoy their life. In short, they feel financially secure. Fast forward, all their gifting doesn't seem to align with reality, does it?
 
几个月前，针对30岁以下年轻新加坡人的金融调查显示，尤其是Z世代的年轻人，他们表示在投资方面非常精明，并希望在30岁时就退休享受生活。简而言之，他们感到经济上很安全。快进到现在，他们的想法似乎与现实不符，对吧？
 
@eve_sy3180
Even though there are new opportunities for the current generation, it does not mean that everyone can grab it. Back in the old days, they can buy a food at a lower price. But now the prices of food are soaring. The prices of rent in Singapore is on average $1000 per month at least. Plus now they are so many tech layoffs and other companies are willing to layoff which means some careers are not that secure as it seems. Back in the old days, everyone can have a secure job very easily.
 
尽管当前这一代人有新的机会，但并不意味着每个人都能抓住它。以前，他们可以以更低的价格买到食物。但现在，食物价格飙升。新加坡的租金平均每月至少1000新元。而且现在有很多科技公司裁员，其他公司也愿意裁员，这意味着某些职业并没有看起来那么安全。以前，大家可以很轻松地找到一份稳定的工作。
 
@bensgoodeats1493
Some  of the people are not understanding the question on income inequality in Singapore before answering . Singapore Gini coefficient is low compared to most developed countries
 
有些人对新加坡的收入不平等问题没有理解就开始回答。新加坡的基尼系数与大多数发达国家相比是较低的。
 
@Anonymousa69
I'm Filipino and I think Singapore is a great country. Its a national model with good policies which other ASEAN states should emulate. Compare to pay and health care benefits SG is top tier.
 
我是菲律宾人，我认为新加坡是一个伟大的国家。它是一个良好的国家模型，拥有其他东盟国家应该效仿的良好政策。与薪酬和医疗福利相比，新加坡是顶尖水平。
 
@calvinchew7985
Currently, Singapore's median property price to median annual income is 13.7 for private property and 4.5 to 4.7 for public housing 20 Nov 2023 data you can google yourself duh
 
目前，新加坡私人房产的中位数房价与中位数年收入的比率为13.7，而公共住房的比率为4.5到4.7。你可以自己在2023年11月20日的数据上查找。
 
@ITSaPendragon
i lived in Singapore for 2 years working at a Australian owned bank one of the girls that worked with me family had 4 maids/cleaners/cooks in there household which i found wild as there family was no richer than mine
 
我在新加坡住了两年，曾在一家澳大利亚-银行工作。我同事中有个女孩，她家里有四个佣人/清洁工/厨师，我觉得这太不可思议了，因为他们的家庭并不比我家富裕。

@AlanSmith88888
Income equality is an impossible task to tackle. The economics of the world dictates that asset prices rise over time. In many cases it has been rising very rapidly over the last few years. So if you don’t own any assets, you will find it increasingly difficult to catch up.
 
收入平等是一个不可能解决的任务。世界经济决定了资产价格会随着时间上升。在很多情况下，过去几年这些价格上涨得非常快。因此，如果你没有任何资产，你会发现越来越难以追赶。
 
@khw2053
honestly it's quite a nice place lah, as long as you live a simple life and dont have any huge aspirations to get this car or that house. But who am I to talk, I don't even plan to have a family anyway so financial independence is definitely achievable for me
 
老实说，这地方还不错，只要过简单的生活，不追求什么豪车或大房子。不过我也不算什么，有家人的计划都没有，所以财务独立对我来说绝对是可以实现的。
 
@zibobpompon5768
What a stupid world we live in ,everything is about money in this life ,simple things like having a house and buy food should not be unaffordable , life is not about performing all the time we need to build another model because all of these have no meaning .
 
我们生活在一个多么愚蠢的世界啊，生活中的一切都与金钱有关，像拥有房子和买食物这样的简单事情不应该是负担，生活不应该总是要表现，我们需要建立另一种模式，因为这一切都毫无意义。
 
@DonYang73
Housing remains affordable but it is also the expectations that have moved up.  If your household of a husband and wife has only $10kpm income, dont buy a 5room flat.  Problem is that people go all out to buy the biggest they think they can afford (when usually cannot)  Reality also is that our money is worth a lot less today.   Make your choices carefully.  Good luck Singapore
 
住房仍然是可负担的，但人们的期望也在提高。如果你的家庭（夫妻）收入只有每月1万新币，就不要买五房的公寓。问题在于，人们总是尽力去买他们认为能买得起的最大房子（但实际上通常买不起）。现实是，我们的钱今天值的更少。仔细做出选择。祝你好运，新加坡。
 
@mysteryguitarhaziq
The people who are talking  are doing fine those who are working  almost 24/7 are the ones these questions should be asked. Scout them out.
 
说话的人都过得不错，那些几乎24/7工作的人才是应该被问这些问题的。找出他们吧。
 
@AttiliaDePaolo
I'm glad you made this video, it reminds me of my transformation from a nobody to good home, honest husband, $75k biweekly and a good daughter full of love❤️
 
我很高兴你制作了这个视频，它让我想起了我从一个无名小卒变成一个好家庭、诚实丈夫、每两周赚75,000新币的人的蜕变，还有一个充满爱的女儿❤️。
 
@chlspnn1635
My ex boss married a Singaporean and everytime she came back to our country, she bought everything she could like menstrual pads, baby diapers, snacks, noodles, soaps and everything. They’re pretty wealthy tho.
 
我前老板嫁给了一个新加坡人，每次她回我们国家时，都会买很多东西，比如卫生巾、婴儿尿布、零食、面条、肥皂等等。他们确实挺富有的。
 
@kelvinyeo2047
In the end it is disposable income. If lower income move up, the overall price will goes up and middle and higher income will too move up. Ideally it is keeping food and house affordable to everyone, everyone who are willing to work.
 
最终这就是可支配收入。如果低收入群体上升，整体价格会随之上涨，中高收入群体也会跟着上涨。理想的状况是让每个人都能负担得起食品和住房，所有愿意工作的人都能做到。
 
@hajoung2647
Singapore and Seoul face quite similar challenges for youth. Thank you for insightful opinions from youth.
 
新加坡和首尔在年轻人面临的挑战上相似。感谢年轻人提供的深刻见解。
 
@cheenangng4050
I think the producer have to be clear about income inequality and income gap. Inequality suggest that one is not getting what he or she is supposed to get.
 
我认为制作方需要明确收入不平等和收入差距的问题。不平等意味着某人没有得到他或她应得的东西。
 
@BraunRob
The right choice of an investment has always been a big problem for me I know picking a wrong investment will leave a big scar in the future
 
选择正确的投资一直是我面临的大问题，我知道选择错误的投资会在未来留下很大的伤痕。
 
@kcchiew4247
My wife and me are young senior. We will move into our new 4 room bto that worth 320k.  We are not wealthy, but I am confident both of us will live well in our golden years.
 
我和我的妻子是年轻的退休人士。我们将搬进价值32万的新四房BTO。我们并不富裕，但我相信我们俩在黄金岁月里会过得很好。
 
@tkuanay9752
I know that most people in SG dont like developing nations. If you have a mindset, and wants to start a business move to India or indonesia or other countries with huge market. Build your business and you will be a millionaire and even billionaire. Dont get stuck in SG. It is big world.
 
我知道新加坡大多数人不喜欢发展中国家。如果你有这样的心态，想要创业，可以搬到印度、印度尼西亚或其他市场巨大的国家。建立你的事业，你将成为百万富翁甚至亿万富翁。不要被困在新加坡，这是一个广阔的世界。

Singaporean accent sounds like a Nigerian who grew up in Ghana 
 
新加坡口音听起来像是在加纳长大的尼日利亚人 
 
@wu7423
Singapore is fast becoming HK 2.0, and many people actually thought it's good and all, I mean sure it attracted a lot of FDI, but there's also downside to this, the high living cost. Singapore should rethink its strategy, it should instead adapt European's way of life, be Switzerland of Asia.
 
新加坡正迅速成为香港（特区）2.0，许多人实际上认为这很好，当然它吸引了大量外资，但也有其弊端，那就是高昂的生活成本。新加坡应该重新考虑其战略，而是应该适应欧洲的生活方式，成为亚洲的瑞士。
 
@raoplns
The difference between HDB and Condo living is getting more distinct and large. Most average employees can't afford to live in a Condo but good thing SG GOV provides them a decent living in HDB. With the gap in value of HDB and Condo is increasing, there will be two classes of people HDB dwellers and Condo dwellers...never was difference so high.
 
HDB与公寓居住之间的差异越来越明显且巨大。大多数普通员工负担不起公寓，但新加坡政府为他们提供了体面的HDB居住选择。随着HDB和公寓价值差距的增加，将会出现两类人群：HDB居民和公寓居民……这种差异从未如此之大。
 
@bakchormee4102
The interest thing is everybody thinks that they are the average. Nobody thinks that they are lower or higher while clearly all these people are of different socio-economic background.
 
有趣的是，每个人都认为自己是普通的。没有人认为自己是低于或高于平均水平，而显然这些人有着不同的社会经济背景。
 
@jkohero
The interviewees are mostly from the same income range based on their responses. I don’t think the survey accurately reflects the current situation. In my opinion, income inequalities are prominent in developed cities, and Singapore is no exception. However, compared to other major cities I know, Singapore has relatively mild income inequality. People are generally still able to afford housing, with BTO flats starting from 300k for 3 room flats in OCR region. In general, the younger generation tends to live a more extravagant lifestyle rather than being content with living within their means.
 
受访者大多来自相同的收入范围，我认为调查并没有准确反映当前的情况。在我看来，发达城市的收入不平等问题十分突出，而新加坡也不例外。然而，与我所知的其他主要城市相比，新加坡的收入不平等相对温和。人们通常仍然能够负担得起住房，在OCR区域，三房BTO公寓的起价为30万。总体而言，年轻一代往往过着更奢华的生活方式，而不是满足于量入为出。
 
@alvinmah6148
If people with different jobs and different working hours are getting the same salary, that would not be fair.  
Problematic income inequality: Most people are struggling in poverty. Only the elites live in abundance.  
Good income inequality: Most citizens are having abundance, zero / almost zero homelessness, opportunities for everyone to move up the social ladder. And having plenty of billionaires / multi millionaires to create job opportunities in the country
 
如果不同工作和不同工作时间的人拿着相同的薪水，那就不公平。
有问题的收入不平等：大多数人生活在贫困中，只有精英们过着富裕的生活。
好的收入不平等：大部分公民过着富裕的生活，几乎没有无家可归现象，每个人都有机会向上流动社会阶梯。国家里有很多亿万富翁和百万富翁为大家创造就业机会。
 
@scbchong6964
The real issue is singaporeans are selling their HDB public housing apartment to other singaporeans for a million dollars fat profit. Now who are the greedy ones?
 
真正的问题是，新加坡人把自己的HDB公共住房以一百万美元的高价卖给其他新加坡人。现在谁才是贪婪的呢？
 
@EvansRG78
It actually seems worse in Hong Kong right now.  You can have a great education, high-paying job (lawyer, doctor, etc), but you'll never be able to afford a reasonable place in Hong Kong on that income alone. Not even a tiny one-bedroom.  For the most part you either have to have rich family to help, or you have to live outside Hong Kong.  Even the rent is astronomical there.
 
实际上，现在香港（特区）的情况似乎更糟。你可以拥有良好的教育和高薪工作（律师、医生等），但仅凭这些收入，你永远无法在香港（特区）负担得起一个合理的住所。甚至连一个小的一卧室都买不起。大多数情况下，你要么需要富裕的家庭支持，要么只能住在香港（特区）以外的地方。即使租金也高得离谱。
 
@StephanieRussell-lc8gq
Singapore is expensive only the rental and perhaps owning a car. Other than that, its still ok, its up to the choices u make. Compared to malaysia 1 bubble tea cost about 15rm. imagine making 2000RM per month. how to afford bubble tea. where as in SG, only $3.50. I think only the private housing and cost of owning a car in SG is expensive. other than that, still ok.
 
新加坡的生活成本很高，主要是租房和拥有汽车。除此之外，还是可以接受的，这取决于你的选择。相比之下，马来西亚一杯奶茶大约要15令吉，想想看每月只有2000令吉，怎么可能负担得起奶茶。而在新加坡，一杯奶茶只需3.50新元。我认为只有私人住房和拥有汽车的成本在新加坡比较贵，其他方面还是可以的。
 
@wallyoo77
If you buy from Govt and not owners, public housing is very affordable.
What a lot of people complain about is wanting premium locations or private property.
 
如果你是从政府购买，而不是从业主那里，公共住房是非常负担得起的。很多人抱怨的是想要优越的地理位置或私人房产。
 
@alfarolex7591
Education is the key to success even if you are poor. You cannot choose where or how you are born, but you can choose how you die.
 
教育是成功的关键，即使你很贫穷。你无法选择自己出生的地点或方式，但你可以选择如何生活。
 
@shaqisumari304
Their starting salary for fresh grad is around SGD8k, that is good, blessed them. 
 
他们对新毕业生的起薪大约是8000新元，这很好，祝福他们。
