Living Arrangements of Older Persons

The Database on Households and Living Arrangements of Older Persons 2022 is a global compilation of indicators on the household composition and living arrangements of persons aged 60 or over. The indicators have been estimated using both tabulated data and household roster micro-data from censuses and household surveys. The 2022 database includes estimates from 209 Multiple Indicator Cluster Surveys (MICS), representing 98 countries or areas, which were not available in the previous versions. The estimates are based on 982 unique data sources from 180 countries or areas, representing approximately 98 per cent of persons aged 60 or over globally, with reference dates ranging from 1960 to 2020.

The Database on Older Persons in Collective Living Quarters 2022 is a unique dataset that provides harmonized and comparable data on patterns and trends of older persons aged 65 or over residing in collective living quarters (also called as 鈥済roup quarters鈥).  Data on collective living quarters (or non-household living arrangements) are still limited. The main source for non-household living arrangement data are population and housing censuses. The estimates are based on 347 unique data sources from 135 countries or areas, representing approximately 77 per cent of persons aged 65 or over globally (circa 2010), with reference dates ranging from 1960 to 2018.

For both databases, standard estimation procedures were used to ensure comparability of the estimates between countries and over time.
