Description
GQTYPE identifies the type of group quarters -- collective dwellings -- which are broadly classified into institutional and non-institutional types.
Institutions are a place of residence where people are subject to a common authority or bound by a common objective or personal interest. The definition encompasses correctional facilities, health institutions, retirement homes, orphanages, shelters (social welfare institutions), military or police establishments, boarding schools, and religious group dwellings.
Non-institutional group quarters comprise refugee and workers' camps (temporary accommodation), hotels, pensions, and all types of boarding or lodging houses. The "floating population" is included as a category within the non-institutional group quarters, when identified by the corresponding sample. This group refers to outdoor sleepers, homeless persons, travelers, and persons in ships, boats, or other mobile dwellings.
A more general classification of households between private and group quarters is available in GQ.

Comparability — General
The variable is not consistent across samples. The group quarter types available vary across countries. Some samples offer grouped categories for certain institutional or non-institutional group quarters. Grouped responses are classified according to the most common type within the category, or coded as "other", when a category is listing multiple collective household types.
The most frequently available categories in GQTYPE are correctional, educational, health, religious and social welfare institutions. Correctional institutions are generally comparable across samples. Health institutions may have varying levels of detail depending on the country; these could include mental health hospitals, hospices, or living quarters for persons with disabilities or chronic illnesses. Some samples combine educational or health institutions with religious institutions or orphanages. For further discussion, please refer to the country-specific comparability included below.
In the case of the homeless, many countries do not explicitly distinguish between a person living in a shelter (institution) or on the street (non-institutional). The homeless are classified as floating population (non-institutional) when there is no such distinction.
Some samples only differentiate between institutional or non-institutional group quarters, but not their specific types. These are generally not harmonized in GQTYPE, but the information is available in GQ.
Comparability — Argentina [top]
In 1991 and 2001, institutions include military bases, prisons, and homes for children and elderly. The category of "camps" refers to worker camps, according to the enumeration documents.
Comparability — Armenia [top]
Group quarters are identified in the 2011 sample, which distinguishes dormitories from institutions. Dormitories are classified as other group quarters, following the definition in the enumeration instructions.
Comparability — Belarus [top]
The 1999 sample distinguishes between some institutional and non-institutional group quarter types.
Comparability — Bolivia [top]
The 1976-2001 samples are generally consistent in their identification of institutions and other group quarters. Institutions comprise military installations and prisons in 1976-2001, while various other categories are available in specific samples. In 1992, "convent or boarding school" is classified as "other institutional". Both 1992 and 2001 include a category for "homeless" persons, which are considered as floating population. In 2012, it is only possible to distinguish the floating population (persons in transit or living on the street), while the remaining group quarter types are classified as "other".
Comparability — Cambodia [top]
The 1998 and 2008 samples distinguish between institutional households and the floating population. This latter group includes homeless households (those who do not live in a building or structure), transient population, and persons in boats.
Comparability — Cameroon [top]
In 2005, the category of orphanage, refugee camp, or hospice is considered as a "home for the elder or orphanage."
Comparability — Chile [top]
The 2002-2017 samples only distinguish between collective dwellings (classified as other group quarters) and transients (floating population). Additional categories are available in 1982 and 1992.
