Rise in one-person households in Ireland

A new report from the Central Statistics Office shows that fewer than one in five households in Dublin City are now made up of the traditional family unit of husband, wife and children.

The same trend isn't evident in the national data, but there are clear implications for how HBS data (for 04/05) from Dublin households should be interpreted with the one-person trend in mind.

These implications are also relevant for QHNS data from Dublin households.
