Frequently, these features are used for social exclusion and the monopolization of power. The index of ethnic fractionalization in Singapore is 0.3857. This means that a certain diversity is present in Singapore, although all people can still be divided into a relatively small number of major ethnic groups. EF is usually measured as 1 minus the Herfindahl concentration index of ethnolinguistic group shares, which reproduces the probability that two randomly drawn individuals from the population belong to different groups. The theoretical maximum of EF of 1 means that each person belongs to a different group. Read below for statistics of Singapore on median age and gender distribution at various ages.
