Source: SINGAPORE DEPARTMENT OF STATISTICS Data Last Updated: 30/06/2026 Update Frequency: 10 years Survey period: General Household Survey 2015 Footnotes: Notes: Data pertain to heads who are not attending educational institutions as full-time students. The data include those who are upgrading their qualifications through part-time courses while working. Data on Household Living Arrangement have been revised in June 2026 to be based on the composition of members within the household, instead of the characteristics of the head of household, to provide a more holistic view of household living arrangements.
