Families in Britain
The majority of people in Britain live in small family groups. More than a quarter (26 per cent) of houses in Britain only have one person in them. Some of these are old people, but some are people in their twenties and thirties who choose to live alone. Thirty-five per cent of houses have two people in them, and another 17 per cent have three people. Fifteen per cent have four people in them, and other homes have five or more.
British families are small. It is unusual for couples to have more than two children. When children are about eighteen or nineteen they leave their parents’ home, and they often go to a different city. Sometimes they only visit their parents two or three times a year.
