What you will be working on

The Retirement and Health Study Office (RHS) is in charge of implementing the Retirement & Health Study, a joint collaboration between the Board and HDB, MOF, MOH and MOM. The objective of the longitudinal study is to gather information on individuals' employment, health and retirement adequacy, to enhance the design of ageing-related policies and services.

The Retirement and Health Study is a longitudinal survey conducted biennially by the Central Provident Fund Board since 2014. It includes over 20,000 Singapore residents and aims to understand how their retirement, health, and financial status evolve with age. The study provides critical insights that inform government policies and programmes for Singapore's ageing population.

This internship offers hands-on experience in survey research methodology, programming, and data quality assurance that directly impacts Singapore's social policies. In this role, you will:

  • Develop and maintain programming scripts (e.g. STATA, Python) to support data monitoring activities and enhance system testing efficiency.
  • Execute scripts and analyse output data to identify potential system issues or anomalies.
  • Prepare detailed reports on system errors and data anomalies for the vendor.
  • Assist in the formulation of test plan based on Wave 7 questionnaire design to ensure that the Computer-Assisted Personal Interviewing (CAPI) system functions according to the design, as well as data requirements.
  • Assist in conducting rigorous testing of the CAPI system, ensuring it meets data requirements and identifying and documenting errors.
  • Assist in other research tasks related to the RHS where required.
