Description
General Household Survey 2005 counts of Singapore residents aged 65 and over in resident households by living arrangements, age group, and sex. Living-arrangement categories reflect presence of spouse and/or children (including children-in-law) and children’s labour-force status; elderly overseas six months or more are excluded. Ageing-policy researchers profile co-residence patterns at the 2005 benchmark. Adapted from SingStat TableBuilder CT/9001.
