Score Analysis
Analysis of Singapore's policy signalling profile
Singapore's overall WokeMeter assessment score of 50 reflects a moderate policy signalling intensity in terms of Western-style progressive policies. This score is consistent with the country's dimension scores, which collectively average around the mid-40s to low 60s. Recent policy changes, such as the repeal of Section 377A, indicate a gradual shift towards more inclusive policies, although the absence of same-sex marriage laws illustrates the limitations of this progress. Singapore's strict content moderation laws, coupled with its robust legislative activism score, underscore a significant regulatory presence, although this does not necessarily translate to high signalling intensity in all areas.
Examining the dimension scores, Singapore shows the highest signalling intensity in Legislative/Regulatory Activism, scoring 92.91, indicative of robust governmental engagement in policy-making. The Speech & Expression Climate and Corporate/Investor Signalling also reflect moderate to high intensity, with scores of 62.60 and 63.66, respectively, suggesting ongoing dialogues in these fields. Conversely, Institutional DEI Policy Intensity and Education & Curriculum Signalling scores are considerably lower, at 24.47 and 29.60, pointing to limited emphasis on diversity, equity, and inclusion within institutional structures. These variations highlight the uneven landscape of policy signalling in Singapore, balancing between regulatory strictness and evolving social policies.
