Score Analysis
Analysis of Singapore's policy signalling profile
Singapore's Social Policy Signalling Index score is assessed at 51, positioning it in the moderate intensity range. This reflects a balanced approach to policy signalling, influenced by recent legislative changes such as the repeal of Section 377A, which decriminalized consensual same-sex relations. However, Singapore has not moved towards legalizing same-sex marriage, which moderates the overall signalling intensity. The country's strict content control, while contributing to its moderate score, is tempered by relatively high corporate/investor signalling and speech & expression climate scores, which indicate some progressive tendencies in these areas.
Analyzing the dimension scores, Singapore shows the highest policy signalling intensity in Legislative/Regulatory Activism at 82.92, highlighting a strong focus on legislative measures. Meanwhile, Institutional DEI Policy Intensity scored the lowest at 29.85, indicating less emphasis on diversity, equity, and inclusion within institutions. Education & Curriculum Signalling and Media & Platform Moderation scores are both in the low 30s, suggesting moderate attention to these areas. Corporate/Investor Signalling and Speech & Expression Climate scores are higher, pointing to some progressive corporate practices and a relatively open environment for speech and expression. The Protest & Activism Salience score of 46.08 reflects noticeable but not predominant activism within the country. Overall, these dimensions collectively contribute to a moderate signalling intensity for Singapore.
