The table gives a breakdown of the different types of family
who were living in poverty in Australia in 1999.
On average, 11% of all households, comprising almost two
million people, were in this position. However, those consisting of
only one parent or a single adult had almost double this proportion
of poor people, with 21% and 19% respectively.
Couples generally tended to be better off, with lower poverty
levels for couples without children (7%) than those with children
(12%). It is noticeable that for both types of household with
children, a higher than average proportion were living in poverty
at this time.
Older people were generally less likely to be poor, though
once again the trend favoured elderly couples (only 4%) rather than
single elderly people (6%).
Overall the table suggests that households of single adults
and those with children were more likely to be living in poverty
than those consisting of couples.
