When comparing family units with dependent children, our research found that for married and cohabiting couples, the greatest changes come in the increase of families with two children (10.5% increase in these family units from 2015 to 2020).

The March 2020 Current Population Survey says 37% of Black children live with both biological parents, 48% in single-parent households and 4% with a biological parent and a nonbiological parent. For women, in contrast, there is no such uniform pattern: in Latvia and the Netherlands, mothers have a lower unemployment rate than the group of childless women and women who have older children or are not living with them. The number of married couples with children increased by 1.7 per cent to 568,317 while the number of cohabiting couples with children increased by 25.4 per cent to 75,587.

The total production of nuclear heat in the EU in 2021 was 186 663 thousand tonnes of oil equivalent (toe), a drop of 10.4 % compared to 2012 and an increase of 6.6 % compared to 2020. 55/12, https://doi.org/10.1177/0042098017729077. [63] Camarero,L., R.Sampedro and L.Reales (2020). In most cases, the openness towards cohabitation does not imply a rejection of marriage. Nuclear is still the most common, but there are millions of households in the United States with a different family structure. The share of children living in jobless households experienced a surge in the aftermath of the global financial crisis (13.4% in 2013) and has yet to return to its pre-crisis levels. For Israel and the UnitedStates, data refer to children aged 0-17. Other refers to a situation where the child lives in a household where no adult is considered a parent. The main use of nuclear heat is the production of electricity. Seniors who are living with their adult children do not necessarily need care; and in fact the highest share of informal carers to parents in European countries (as revealed by the Survey of Health, Ageing and Retirement in Europe) is among near-seniors themselves (OECD, 2019[47]). In Spain as well as on average across 22 European OECDcountries, among full-time employees, fewer parents earn a low pay. However, if payments arrive irregularly, they would not be taken into account in the poverty estimations. changes but few major reforms.

At the same time, the Cities off them better employment but also a more flexible and attractive lifestyle. As a comparison point, the OECD defines a rural community as having a population density below150 inhabitants perkm (OECD, 2016[61]). One of the main reasons for the low fertility rate is the postponement of childbearing. What is striking is the decline in the proportional share of nuclear households in urban areas. Secondly, the statistic includes older teenagers who were born at a time when out-of-wedlock birth were still less frequent. This prevalence was below the EU-25 average of 8% and the share in France (13%). The extended period of young adults living in their parental home is one factor that contributes to later child birth. The steady fall in the number of marriages since the beginning of the 21st century partially explains the recent drop in the number of divorces (6.4% between 2017 and 2019). . Fourth, Americans are much more likely than other Western citizens to remarry once . Children in Spain face higher poverty risks than other population groups, as is the case most OECDcountries. Every time Spain goes through an economic crisis, the family re-emerges as a very important support system. Care in family networks is assured through a combination of formal and informal care services that is more equally shared between generations and men and women than was the case in prior decades. A 2016 study based on the 2011 Spanish Census suggests that among heterosexual couples that live with a child under the age of 18, one of the members of the couple is not a parent of the minor child in 7.4% of cases (Ajenjo-Cosp and Garca-Saladrigas, 2016[21]). In fact, more than eight in ten including many older and religious people agree with the statement that it is alright for a couple to live together without intending to marry (ISSP, 2012[23]). Spain's fertility rate is at one of its lowest levels in decades at 1.35 births per woman.

Despite the strong orientation of Spanish family protection policy towards the support of large families (see Chapter2), this share is hence lower than the EU average of 12.7% and those in countries such as France (18%), Finland (20.3%) and Ireland (25.2%) (Eurostat, 2020[12]). For EUcountries, fixed broadband coverage is defined as NGA technologies (VDSL, FTTP, DOCSIS 3.0)capable of delivering at least 30Mbps download speed. Another crucial factor is the dominance of three to five year contracts in the private rental market that can be followed by substantial rent increases.

In 2021, there were 19.3 million families in the UK, which represents a 6.5% increase over the decade from 2011 to 2021. According to 2019 data from the Spanish Youth Council, half of the population at ages 18 to 29 devotes over30% of its income to housing, double the share in the total population. Family structure is another factor that influences the risk of poverty, with households with children in general and large and single-parent family being at particular risk. At present, Spain is not engaged in the development of advanced nuclear technologies. This share is the second highest among OECDcountries and the highest among EU OECD. The first massive immigration wave started in the last years of the 20th century, in a context of economic liberalisation and growth, high demand of cheap labour and high acceptance of employers hiring irregular workers, particularly in the construction, agriculture and domestic services sector. Relative income poverty for the total population in Spain (14.2% in 2018) comes closer to the OECD average of 11.7% than is the case for children, though Spain remains in the upper third ranking of OECDcountries. Groups advocating for this reform hope that this will translate to increased involvement of fathers in the care of children and household tasks, as happened in other countries (see Duvander and Jans (2009[38]) for the Swedish case and Eydal and Rostgaard (2014[39]) on Nordic welfare states).
