The profile of a foreign woman who marries a Singaporean man is changing, with many older and better educated than foreign brides of the past, data released by the Government for the first time showed.
Analysts say the change is a reflection of economic growth in the region. More than 90 per cent of the brides came from Asia. The median age of non-resident (NR) brides - defined as those who are not Singapore citizens or permanent residents - was 29 in 2019. It was 27 a decade earlier and 26.1 in 2000.
