Description

This dataset presents information on resident households in Singapore classified by household living arrangement and household size, based on the General Household Survey 2005. It supports analysis of how resident households were organised and how many people lived in them during the 2005 survey period, with household living arrangement and household size serving as the key analytical dimensions. The metadata identifies Singapore as the geographic context and the Singapore Department of Statistics as the publisher. The dataset is a historical survey-based reference rather than a continuously updated annual series: it was last updated on 28 March 2016 and is listed with a 10-year update frequency. Researchers, students, journalists, policy analysts and data users may use it to investigate household structure, compare household-size patterns within the survey framework, support historical studies of Singapore living arrangements, or locate official statistics for demographic and social research. It may also be relevant to searches for Singapore resident household size data, household living arrangement statistics, General Household Survey 2005 results, and SingStat household composition tables.
