The table presents the percentages of Britons according to the five different types of households in which they live, in five time periods: 1971, 1981, 1991, 2001 and 2007. The five types are: one person, couples without children, couples with young children, couples with older children and single-parent families.
During these time periods, a steady increase in one-person and couples without children was observed. Single-person households doubled from 6% in 1971 to 12% in 2007, while the percentage of childless couples increased by 1% between 1971 and 1981, from 19% to 20% respectively, reaching 23% in 1991 and ending with 25% in 2001. The percentage of couples with older children has remained stable, increasing by only 1% between 1971 and 1991, and decreasing by 2% in 2001. On the other hand, the category of couples with young children decreased from 52% in 1971 to 36% in 2007, while the single-parent family category tripled over the same period, from 4% in 1971 to 12% in 2007. In conclusion, the table shows differential patterns of change in the five different types of British households.
