Resumen:	We examine patterns and trends in household size and living arrangements in Asia to highlight the prevalent characteristics of Asian families, showing diversity across countries and changes over time. We combine data from censuses and surveys from 12 countries spanning from 1980 to 2010, adopting two perspectives: a household and an individual level of analysis. Results show that households and families are changing in Asia while elements of the old remain. Driven by fertility decline, household size in most Asian countries has experienced a shrinkage, yet the prevalence of one-person household remains low, and confined mostly to the elderly, mostly female, population. The dominant feature of intergenerational co-residence continues to characterize Asian households.
