Description
General Household Survey 2015 table showing Singapore resident households by age group of the head of household and household living arrangement, cross-classified by the number of working persons in the household. Counts are given in thousands for households with no working person, one, two, three, and four or more working persons. Published by the Singapore Department of Statistics, the table helps researchers study household economic dependency, retirement-age households without earners, and how earner counts vary with household composition. Living-arrangement figures were revised in June 2026 to be based on household member composition rather than head-of-household characteristics. Adapted from SingStat TableBuilder CT/8262.
