FACTS

Family Social Statistics 2003 Lone Parent Families ( Abs 2003 )

Of all families in 2003 14% (799,800) were one parent families.

Families with children made up 60% of all families.

Families with children are those with children aged 0-17 years, because children aged less than 18 years have not attained full adult rights so usually remain reliant in some ways on either their parent(s) or guardian(s). In 2003, 22% were one parent families.

Lone person households – 1,923,800

One Parent Families – 799,800 families, 2,126,100 persons

- with non-dependent children 239,000 family households, 5327,000 people

- with dependent children 560,800 families, 1,593,400 persons (includes 59,300 non-dependent children), 929,900 dependent children
