The average size of a household in Singapore is 3.29 people, which is relatively high for a developed economy. In contrast, most developed countries have a much lower household size, which has been gradually decreasing over time. The global trend among developed nations is towards having fewer children and living in smaller households, which raises economic and social issues. The rise in marriage ages has contributed to a delay in having children while declining marriage rates have led to smaller households.

According to a report by CEOWORLD magazine, the countries with the smallest household size are led by Sweden, followed by Germany, Finland, Switzerland, and Monaco, respectively. Norway is ranked 6th in the same report.
