Drawing on over 785 million individual records across 107 countries 1960-2020 collected through IPUMS International censuses and the European Labour Force Survey (EU-LFS), the Global Living Arrangements Database (GLAD) summarizes "living arrangements analyzed from an individual-based perspective, enabling disaggregation by age, sex, education level, and marital status” based on a "globally comparable, yet flexible, typology of living arrangements.” Repository also includes the R code to reproduce the data processing. The project plans to process additional data samples as those are produced.
