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.

There was a total of 86,300 nuclear families in Iceland on 1 January 2021, an increase of 1,632 from the previous year. Three quarters of the population now see it as the best solution when a couple cannot work out their marriage problems (ISSP, 2012[23]). [7] Bernardi,F. (2005), Public policies and low fertility: rationales for public intervention and a diagnosis for the Spanish case. During Franco's years, Spanish law discriminated strongly against married women. Although nine in ten people in Spain and European countries overall consider that having children is an important element of a successful marriage or partnership, having children is no longer considered a key element for achieving happiness, and women are not stigmatised for not having children. [55] Ayala,L. etal. 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). The sharp increase in housing costs from the turn of the millennium onwards accelerated the transition to the dual earner family model. [54] Moreno,A. Schools, broadband internet and transportation infrastructure are among the key needs of rural families: Schools play a key role among institutions in rural areas. The poverty rates presented in this chapter refer to post-transfer income. (ed.

Whether or not the impact on maternal employment is temporal depends to a large extent on the accessibility, cost and quality of early childhood education and care services, but also on the fathers involvement in care tasks. The extended period of young adults living in their parental home is one factor that contributes to later child birth. [34] Meil,G. (2011), El uso de los permisos parentales por los hombres y su implicacin en el cuidado de los nios en Europa, Revista Latina de Sociologa, Vol. nuclear family meaning: 1. a family consisting of two parents and their children, but not including aunts, uncles. Often, they complement formal childcare and education, either on a weekly basis or to make ends meet during the long Spanish school holidays. Similar outcomes are found in France and the UnitedKingdom. [54] Moreno,A. No distinction available between private or subsidised renters in NewZealand. Today, three-quarters of Spanish people live in their own home they either own outright or have a mortgage on, still higher than the 68% OECD average (OECD, 2021[46]). This can include people over the age of 65 living with a younger partner, but could also include the older person living with one of their children or another family member. Except in Denmark or Sweden, having three or more as opposed to one or two children is associated with a drastically lower maternal employment rate in all selected EUcountries. The housing policy deficits spilled over into family and social policy (Bosch and Trilla, 2019[57]; Mdenes, 2019[58]). But the gap nonetheless remained very substantial: women spent 244minutes on these tasks and men 110minutes. 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]). This report suggests ways to adapt Spains family policy [25] European Commission (2019), Eurobarometer on Discrimination 2019: The social acceptance of LGBTI people in the EU, https://ec.europa.eu/info/sites/default/files/ebs_493_data_fact_lgbti_eu_en-1.pdf. The country has undergone a process of individualisation in parallel with the maintenance of a strong sense of modernised family solidarity (Meil, 2011[1]; Meil, 2006[2]). However, due to the increase in one-person households and nuclear-family households since the 1960s, the average size of households was down . However, the household size of immigrant-headed households is only slightly higher than among native-headed households (2.75 compared to 2.44, a similar difference as across OECDcountries) (OECD/European Union, 2018[5]). [59] Pinilla,V. and L.Sez (2017), La despoblacin rural en Espaa: Gnesis de un problema y polticas innovadoras, Centro de Estuios sobre Despoblacin y Desarrollo de reas Rurales, http://www.reis.cis.es/REIS/jsp/REIS.jsp?opcion=articulo&ktitulo=2465&autor=JUAN+MANUEL+GARC%CDA+GONZ%C1LEZ (accessed on 17January2021). During the 2010s, relative income poverty rose particularly among young and middle age groups (18-50years), and to a lesser extent among children, whereas poverty rates declined considerably for the age group 66 and over (Figure1.7, PanelB). (2020), La custodia compartida en los tribunals. Note: The incidence of low pay refers to the share of workers earning less than two-thirds of median earnings. Compared to the national average of 51.0%, the share of women is lower in rural areas: 49.4% in towns with under5000 inhabitants and even only 43.2% in towns under100 inhabitants. This was to distinguish from an "extended family," which could include grandparents, or others. Many adult children do not move out of their parental home until they are older than is typical in many other OECDcountries. These shares are almost identical to the EU28 averages. The divergence towards nuclear families has been reasoned to be the result of industrialization Regarding Lmoniz, the astonishing fact about Spain's nuclear past is that terrorists were a part of the reason that Lmoniz was first delayed more than two years . An adverse economic environment with low economic growth and high unemployment is negatively associated with fertility, suggesting that economic stability and expectations for the future impact couples decisions to start or grow their families (Hoorens etal., 2011[9]). 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). In a 2016 survey, 76% of respondents supported that two persons of the same sex could marry (CIS, 2016[24]); and by 2019, 86% of Spaniards (compared to the EU average of 69%) thought that same sex marriages should be allowed throughout Europe (European Commission, 2019[25]). Starting at 34% in 1999, the share of children under age15 in households where all adults are working rose to 58.6% by 2018 (Figure1.4). They are often a prerequisite for keeping other social institutions, such as pharmacies, bakeries, bars or nursing home, in place because they make it possible for families with children to stay in or move to rural areas. By contrast, the decline in the proportion of children with a working father contributed to a sharp drop in income in Spain between 2007 and 2014. The trend did not stop in the new millennium, with three out of four towns in Spain having lost population between 2010 and 2020 (Secretara general para el reto demogrfico, 2019[60]). Young people often feel the need to complete their education, establish themselves on the labour market and save for home ownership first before leaving their parental home, given that rentals are often unavailable or unaffordable. Spanish tax policy for a long time favoured home ownership. At the time of the 2011 Spanish census, 56.5% of the adult population was married and 5.8% were divorced. Family life is changing. is the online library of the Organisation for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) featuring its books, papers, podcasts and statistics and is the knowledge base of OECD's analysis and data. though it remains below the OECD average. services, tax breaks and leave arrangements that support family members in raising On average across the OECD, individuals living in jobless households with at least one child are nearly eight times more likely to be income-poor than working households with at least one child (Figure1.8). The most recent time use survey in Spain dates from 2009, but future waves may reveal an impact of the 2019 leave reform. Nuclear families were joint in ancient times because they provided for all of one's needs. The share in Spain rose by 2.3percentage points over the timespan of a decade, whereas the average shares in the EU and OECD declined by respectively 1.3 and 0.7percentage points. 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.

First, living with parents can include situations of reconstituted families where both adults are parents but only one of them is a parent of the child or teenager in question. In 2019, about one-third (32.5%) of households had at least one child member. Spain also does not participate in the Generations and Gender Survey that covers relevant questions.

Furthermore, in 2017, 6.8% of people aged18-29 who were heads of household stated that they had paid their rent or a mortgage late, as opposed to 3.8% of the total population (Ayala etal., 2020[55]).

Custody arrangements post-divorce have also changed. look and live has been changing drastically over the past decades. The calculation of the low-pay incidence for all employees as presented in Figure1.15 relies on earnings and labour force surveys, including the European Union Structure of Earnings Survey; while the calculation for parents relies on household surveys, including the EU-SILC. This household type represents the archetypal American home: a married couple and their children, all living together under one roof.

From being one of the countries with the highest fertility rates in Europe, Spain now has the lowest rate in the region, leading to decreasing family sizes. .

After the 2007 crisis, the family played a crucial role in smoothing out its impacts; and during the ongoing COVID-19 crisis, Spanish society once again takes refuge in family relationships (Escobedo etal., 2021[42]). In comparison, lone parent family units have seen three or more children families increase by almost a . Changes in the gender gaps in time use are higher when mothers are employed and have higher educational attainment. Compared to 2004, the proportion of minor children living with married parents declined by 7percentage points; while the shares living with cohabitating parents or a single parent rose by four and 7percentage points, respectively. A nuclear family, elementary family, cereal-packet family or conjugal family is a family group consisting of parents and their children (one or more), typically living in one home residence.It is in contrast to a single-parent family, the larger extended family, or a family with more than two parents.Nuclear families typically center on a heterosexual married couple which may have any number . A representative sample of Spanish Social Security registered labour trajectory records of individuals who became parents for the first time in 2003 showed that a third of mothers were registered unemployed at some point in the threeyears after giving birth (Escobedo, Navarro and Flaquer, 2007[32]). Obviously, the actual concept of a nuclear family is much older than 1947. However, if payments arrive irregularly, they would not be taken into account in the poverty estimations. This gap increases inequalities between urban-rural families and hinders the settlement of families in rural areas. Although the high poverty rate among large families has been well-known for at least two decades and Spanish family policy has a strong focus on large families, advances in reducing poverty have been very limited. In 2016, 14.6% of workers earned less than two-third of median earnings, compared with 15.7% in the EU and OECD on average. 2.8.2. Spain has seven operable nuclear reactors, with a combined net capacity of 7.1 GWe. Low-income households do not only find it difficult to afford housing in urban but also in rural areas. The share of 15-29year-olds who were living with their parents was equal to 76.6%, compared to 60.4% across the OECD (Figure1.6). [1] Meil,G. (2011), Individualizacin y solidaridad familiar., Coleccin Estudios Sociales, No. 3 In our framework, it is the only household arrangement to shrink over time, and it is doing so at a . It also describes how Spanish families fare in terms of their life satisfaction, poverty and ability to access housing. [46] OECD (2021), Affordable Housing Database, http://www.oecd.org/housing/data/affordable-housing-database/ (accessed on 20February2021). In fact, only 35 per cent of homes in Spain can be characterized as the typical 'nuclear family with children', whereas the other 65 per cent are composed of single-person households (23.2%), couples without children (21%), monoparental families (9.3%) and 'other types of families' (11.5%) (Instituto Nacional de Estadstica, Encuesta . 5/1, p.95, https://doi.org/10.1057/s41599-019-0306-x. An analysis of the intergenerational earnings elasticity between fathers and sons in the early 2010s found that intergenerational mobility for the bottom 10% of the fathers earnings distribution was higher in Spain than in nine out of 13countries included in the analysis (OECD, 2018[50]). Even among 30 to 40year olds, 29% were still living with their parents (Consejo de la Juventud de Espaa and Lpez Oller, 2020[43]).

Based on data from the 5-year American Community Survey from 2010-2014, I counted 10,276 different types of households.
