Seem like an artifact of the measurement system.
From your link,
> “Travel restrictions during the pandemic was the main factor affecting the size of the (citizen) and PR population in 2021, as more (citizens) and PRs were staying overseas continuously for 12 months or more, who therefore were not counted as part of the resident population,” the National Population and Talent Division said.
- refurb 5y agoCitizens and PRs of Singapore were always able to return to Singapore, even now. The ones staying outside the country are doing so voluntarily. So I’m ok with how they counted it - if the US citizen population decreased due to people leaving and staying outside the country that seems like a fair measure.
- worrycue 5y agoPeople who go back and forth often, thus will usually be counted in the census, might not be able to or not want to do so. They might not want to risk getting lock out of the other country and there might be quarantine requirements they do not want to be subjected to.
