(10 Oct 2022) The NLB’s 2021 National Reading Habits Study showed that 95 per cent of adults last year consumed reading materials such as the news, online articles and books in their spare time more than once a week – up from 88 per cent in 2018.
Teenagers, too, seemed to be reading more for leisure, with 86 per cent of older teenagers doing so more than once a week – slightly higher than 2018’s figure of 83 per cent.
NLB surveyed a total of 3,774 Singapore residents between July and December 2021, via online and door-to-door interviews. Among them were 2,918 adults aged 20 years and above, 692 older teenagers aged 17 to 19, and 164 younger teenagers aged 13 to 16.
