Results on households, families and living arrangements are primarily based on the annual data from the Austrian Labour Force Survey (also known as micro census). In addition, some time series data include information from the latest Population Censuses.
While the Labour Force Survey only provides information about private households, Population Censuses also cover the population living in institutional households. Private households are cross-tabulated by various demographic characteristics such as age, gender, marital status, migration background, size of household, type of household as well as regional location. In addition to tables on family types and models (couple families, lone-parent families etc.), data on children in families is presented separately.
