(2022-2023) Family Database in the Asia-Pacific Region

The family database in the Asia-Pacific Region 2022-2023 covers data on family outcomes and policies of eleven countries (11: Australia, China, Indonesia, Japan, Korea, Malaysia, Mongolia, New Zealand, Singapore, Thailand and Viet Nam) and economies, which allows for cross-national comparison and time analyses across OECD countries.

 

The database consists of 28 indicators that are useful to gauge changing family trends, such as "Family size and household composition", "Marriage and divorce rates", "Fertility rates", "Life expectancy at birth", "Typology of childcare and early-education services", "Educational attainment by gender", "Usual working hours per week by gender", and "Young people not in education or employment", under four main dimensions: 1) SF: the structure of families, 2) LMF: the labour market position of families, 3) PF: public policies for families and children, and 4) CO: child outcomes.

 

Below is the complete list of indicators included in the dataset, and you may find the summaries and datasets for each indicator in the attachments:
