This open access book provides a comprehensive overview of demographic and family changes in Southeast Asia over the past 50 years, drawing on rich data and historical, cultural, and policy background. The book is divided into two parts, with Part A focusing on marital and partnership status, fertility indicators, and household structures, and Part B focusing on children and youths' well-being. Part A begins with a briefing on Southeast Asia, followed by three segments: marriage rates, age at marriage, incidence of singlehood, cohabitation, and divorce. The second segment examines fertility indicators such as fertility rates (total, age-specific, adolescent), age at childbearing, and childlessness. The third segment presents information on household structures, including household sizes, incidence of one-person households, single-parent families, and extended and composite households. Part B focuses on indicators of children and youths' well-being, including education, health, and social well-being. The book provides valuable insights into the changing family dynamics and social structures in Southeast Asia, and will be of interest to researchers, policymakers, and individuals interested in family studies and social policy.
