Family Database in the Asia-Pacific Region 2022-05-17
The family database in the Asia-Pacific Region 2020-2021 covers data on family outcomes and policies of eleven countries (11: Australia, China, Indonesia, Japan, Korea, New Zealand, Malaysia, Mongolia, Singapore, Thailand, and Vietnam), which allows for cross-national comparison and time analyses across OECD countries.
The database consists of 27 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.
