Family life in BritainToday, most British people own the home they live in. Of all the homes in Britain 67% (16.7 million homes) are owned by the people who live in them. In the south of England, the numbers as 74,7% in the south-east and 72,2% in the south -west. In Wales 71,5% of homes are owned by the people in them. In Northern Ireland the number is 71,4%. But in Scotland the number of home-owners has traditionally been lower (now 60,2% of homes).On average, 2.4 people lives as a family in one home in Britain. This number is smaller than in most other European countries. About 65% of people over the age of 65 live alone. When children grow up, they usually leave their parents' home for university or work. After they buy their own home, their parents do not usually come and live with them.The family in Britain is changing. By the year 2020 there will be fewer married people than single people.In the past, people got married and stayed married. Divorce was very difficult and took a long time. The only reason for a short marriage was usually the death of the husband or wife. But today people's views on marriage and changing. Many couples, mostly in their twenties or thirties, live together without getting married. About 60% of these couples do get married in the end.People get married at a later age now and many women do not want to have children immediately. They prefer to do well at their jobs first. So they often decide not to have a baby until they are in their thirties, or even forties.In the past, people married before they had children, but now about 40% of children in Britain are born to unmarried parents. The number of single-parent families in Britain is increasing. Single parents are usually divorced women (2/3) or women who have never been married (1/3). The government gives help to single parents, but money can still be a problem. And different studies show that, in general, children are happier and more successful in traditional two-parent families.
