title: [Life conditions of families with children in the Municipality of Copenhagen. 1. A description based on registered data].
abstract: By means of combining data from various registers concerning the population in the Municipality of Copenhagen, the living conditions for families with children are described. More than one third of the 36,063 families with children in Copenhagen have only one bread-winner. The older the children are, the more often they live with only one of their parents. Families are small and one third of the children are only children. Many of the families with children have poor housing conditions and just under one fourth have no bath. Many families have a low income and just under one third have a total income of less than 150,000 Danish crowns annually (12,500 pounds). In general, families with low incomes live under poorer conditions than the other families and similarly, the children are hospitalized more frequently than the remaining children. Families with one bread-winner are frequently stressed by low incomes and the children are hospitalized more frequently than the remaining children. Immigrants have poor housing conditions and have very low incomes. The Children's Commission's conclusions concerning the living conditions of families with children are discussed in the light of this investigation.
