Families living in poverty in Australia (table)
The table below shows the proportion of different categories of families living in poverty in
Australia in 1999.
The table gives information about poverty rates among six types of household in
Australia in the year 1999.
It is noticeable that levels of poverty were higher for single people than for couples, and
people with children were more likely to be poor than those without. Poverty rates
were considerably lower among elderly people.
Overall, 11% of Australians, or 1,837,000 people, were living in poverty in 1999. Aged
people were the least likely to be poor, with poverty levels of 6% and 4% for single aged
people and aged couples respectively.
Just over one fifth of single parents were living in poverty, whereas only 12% of parents
living with a partner were classed as poor. The same pattern can be seen for people
with no children: while 19% of single people in this group were living below the poverty
line, the figure for couples was much lower, at only 7%.
