At the time of the 2011 Spanish census, 56.5% of the adult population was married and 5.8% were divorced.

This share is smaller than in Nordic countries (around 75%), but substantially larger than the EU average (37%). The share of emancipation among 16-29year-olds is noticeably lower among men (14.8%) than among women (22.8%).

In 2018, more than nine out of ten of children in Spain (92%) were living in households with at least one adult working, a situation comparable to the EU and OECD averages.

Although little information is available about the legal features of separations filed by unmarried parents, a crucial finding is that 59% of separations are contested compared to only 23% of divorce cases.2. In 2014, Spain's top-ranked electricity producer was nuclear energy with 22 percent of the energy supply, followed by 20.3 percent of wind power and 16.4 percent by coal power. Being exposed to income poverty is harmful to all members of a family, but it is particularly so for children (Thvenon etal., 2018[49]). [33] Flaquer,L. and A.Escobedo (2020), Las licencias parentales y la poltica social a la paternidad en Espaa, in Flaquer,L., T.Cano and M.Barbeta-Vias (eds. Other includes individuals who are living alone, as a single parent or with other adults than their parents or a partner. Unlike in countries such as Germany, the UnitedKingdom and most notably the Netherlands, where one half to three-quarters of dual earner couples have one full-time and one part-time worker, this family situation applies to fewer than a quarter in Spain. Nuclear families. Since the turn of the century, the dual earner family model has become more prevalent in Spain. In 2019, the foreign-born population share (including both regular and irregular immigrants as long as they recorded in municipal registers) of 14% placed Spain in the middle of OECDcountries in terms of immigrant concentrations, though still far below the rates of close to 30% observed in Australia and Switzerland (OECD, 2021[29]). The profile of the typical family is changing across the OECD, but even more drastically so in Spain. :Why policies should adapt to evolving family living arrangements. 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]). 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]). The difference between these two groups is smaller in Spain (5times), mainly due to the relatively high relative income poverty rate among working households. The number of nuclear families increased in absolute . Source: OECD Family Database, Chart LMF1.1.A, http://www.oecd.org/els/family/database.htm. Data for Canada and the UnitedStates refer to 2016. The crude divorce rate increased by 0.3 per 1000 people each decade between 1980 and 2000, but the rise accelerated afterwards.

Otherwise, for couples where the two partners have differing circumstances, stable employment is a more decisive factor than a high educational attainment for having a higher fertility; and a better womans employment position is most conducive to a higher fertility (Bueno and Garca-Romn, 2021[11]). FlowingData's Nathan Yau scraped the numbers from 2010-2014 American Community Survey and found that the nuclear family is still dominantbut only just. At the same time, the [7] Bernardi,F. (2005), Public policies and low fertility: rationales for public intervention and a diagnosis for the Spanish case, Journal of European Social Policy, Vol. Children in Spain face higher poverty risks than other population groups, as is the case most OECDcountries. According to Eurostat, 29.5% of children in Spain were at risk of poverty in 2018. Children are . Since2000, the share of children born whose parents were not married has nearly tripled, from 17.7% to 47.3% in 2018.1 A higher share of college-educated women compared to women with lower educational attainment are cohabitating rather than being married, but among cohabitating women, those with lower educational attainment are more likely to give birth than those with intermediate or higher education. [43] Consejo de la Juventud de Espaa and J.Lpez Oller (2020). 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. As of 2015, 62% of children lived with two married parents while 26% live with one parent. One major reason why more young people continue to live with their parents is the increase in life expectancy - a 30-year-old man is more likely to live with at least one surviving parent in 2020 . According to a 2013-14 study based on the Health Behaviour of School Aged Children,3 6% of young adolescents aged11 to 15 were living in such a family. Working-age adults are defined as 18-64year-olds. 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. While family law has evolved quite strongly Participants in the Spanish labour market who are parents have a lower probability of being unemployed compared to non-parents when they are men, but a higher one when they are women. 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]). Low fertility rates and (higher female) out-migration lead to rural depopulation and ageing as well as the masculinisation. 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. The key insight is that they are all much, much safer than fossil fuels. 28/2, https://doi.org/10.22325/fes/res.2018.61.

In 2018, 1.3% of women and 0.5% of men who were working full-time earned less than the minimum interprofessional salary; while 43.1% of women and 35.6% of men earned less in between one to two times the minimum salary (INE, 2019[53]). A few points to note about this data: Renewable energy here is the sum of hydropower, wind, solar, geothermal, modern biomass and wave and tidal energy. That survey said 67% of white children live with biological parents, 21% with a single parent and 6% are part of a stepfamily. 18 According to the U.S. Census Bureau, the median age of first marriage in 2019 to be 29.8 for men and 28 for . From 1950 to 1965, divorce rates dropped, fertility rates rose, and the American nuclear family seemed to be in . This share is significantly higher than the average among OECDcountries (64.5%), placing Spain third highest among OECDcountries. Spanish tax policy for a long time favoured home ownership. What were families like in 2010? Two-parent households are on the decline in the United States as divorce, remarriage and cohabitation are on the rise. [54] Moreno,A. Three quarters of the population now see it as the best solution when a couple cannot work out their marriage problems (ISSP, 2012[23]). . 2.8.2. These differences to the composition of native-born households was even larger than on average across the EU and OECD. The Short, Happy Life of the Nuclear Family. Immigration to Spain is neither predominantly male nor female. (ed. That being said, the persistence of low-income status across generations may be lower in Spain than in a number of other OECDcountries. The age of the youngest child and the mothers education level have less of an impact on maternal employment rates in Spain than in most EUcountries, but the number of children has a larger impact. As a result . Among the population with a foreign nationality, Romanian, Moroccan, British, Italian, Chinese and Bulgarian citizens are the largest groups. Another reason for the declining share of married families is the increasing number of children born out of wedlock. [8] Esteve,A. and R.Trevio (2019), The main whys and wherefores of childlessness in Spain. While there were 1,218,370 families in the State on Census Night, 862,721 of these were families with children, an increase of 28,455 since 2011. Since the beginning of the 21st century, the annual birth rate in Spanish rural territories has been around 6-7 per 1000 inhabitants, while the mortality rate has been around 11-14 per 1000, leading to negative natural growth (Pinilla and Sez, 2017[59]). Counting stepchildren and adopted children as "own" children, we find Table 2.-Number of families and single persons and average family size, 1940, 1950, and 1958 and pro- Based on data from the 5-year American Community Survey from 2010-2014, I counted 10,276 different types of households. Subfamilies were found in 4.0 percent of the families as counted by the Census in 1958, com- pared with 6.4 percent in 1940. In the Spanish case, at 49.9%, the employment rate of mothers with less than an upper secondary degree is higher than the EU average (45.1%), while the rates for those with upper secondary and tertiary degrees are below the EU average. Among working mothers, three-quarters work full-time, whereas only one-quarter works part-time. In each of the selected European countries, more than 80% of mothers with a tertiary degree are employed, and the share even reaches 86.1% in Sweden (Figure1.5, PanelC). 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 employment situation of fathers, in contrast, did not change much. From being one The extension of the right to marry automatically granted the same rights to same- and opposite-sex married couples, including the right to adopt children jointly. The graphic below shows the top 50, ordered by most common from top to bottom and left to right. (2018[49])for a definition of the variables. . Older, less educated and more religious people as well as men and people living in rural areas support this type of family much less frequently. Spanish society values families and family life highly, but the way that families look and live is changing. the combination of benefits, Longitudinal data shows that the employment rate of mothers falls in themonths prior to giving birth. This way, they become primary caregivers and are not in a secondary role of helping mothers. Source: OECD (2021[46]), HC1.2 Housing costs over income, Affordable Housing Database, https://www.oecd.org/els/family/HC1-2-Housing-costs-over-income.xlsx. . The analysis shows that differences in trends regarding paternal and maternal employment rates and job quality are the most important factors explaining cross-national differences in the evolution of the income for low-income families.

For example, an individual can be a child in a family of orientation and a parent in a . At 20%, the share is highest in the first year, with a peak of cases just after the end of maternity leave, and did not return to their prior employment situations afterwards. Finally, a mothers education level is an important influencing factor in whether she is employed or not. [60] Secretara general para el reto demogrfico (2019). Here Are 6 Different Family Types and Their Unique Family Dynamics: 1. The poverty threshold is set at 50% of median disposable income in each country. The ratio of inhabitants over the age of 65 to the inhabitants under the age of 15 is equal to nine in municipalities with less than 100 inhabitants, compared to around 1.3 in cities with more than 100000 inhabitants. .

This report suggests ways to adapt Spains family policy well-being, reduce child poverty and make family life easier for all. 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]). The arrival of immigrants has counterbalanced the exodus of young people born in rural areas in a small way: Foreign-born people represent 10% of the total rural population in Spain and 16% in the case of people between 20 and 39years of age (Camarero, Sampedro and Reales, 2020[63]). This share is the second highest among OECDcountries and the highest among EU OECD. (2020), Becoming primary caregivers?

Nuclear families are where the genetic material is passed on or. Attitudes towards cohabitation moved away from being considered scandalous towards being tolerated and finally even recommended as a trial period before marriage. The narrowing of the gap is also more apparent in certain family types, such as in step families in which the mother was previously a single parent. Across many dimensions, individuals living in Spain benefit from well-being outcomes that are similar to or better than the OECD average. (Updated July 2022) Mexico has two nuclear reactors generating over 3% of its electricity. Chapter2 takes a more detailed look at pre-transfer poverty rates and the role of the welfare state in addressing poverty. 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. 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). Spains changes in family structure and the increase in the proportion of children with a single parent also contributed to a drop in income, but to a lesser extent than the labour market outcomes of parents.
