(For subscribers) Are more #women out-earning their #husbands in #Singapore?

Over one in 4 #married #couples where both #spouses #work have wives in a higher #income group. https://str.sg/iUaz

#paywall so can’t really read the details. I assume married couples tend to usually have a similar degree and education level.

How is this “out-earning”? Only 25% earns (slightly?) more than their husband/men? Shouldn’t it be 75% of women still earning less than their husband?

A growing share of wives earn more than their husbands — though most men are still the main breadwinner

Over one in four married couples where both spouses work have wives in a higher income group than their husbands, and this is challenging traditional gender roles in Singapore homes.

“Financial services director Lim Mui Khim, 45, earns three to four times her husband’s salary” <-> ““It doesn’t bother me. My identity and self-worth does not come from my work and income,” said Mr Terrence Tan, 49, a part-time chief technology officer.”

so we are comparing full time women vs part time male workers now? Who comes up with this shit at #StraitsTimes
