Global Children (0-14) in Households Where at Least One Adult Is in Employment and One Adult Is Not in Employment (Working) by Country

The analysis of the data for 2023 shows that Slovakia has the highest percentage of children (0-14) in households where at least one adult is employed and one is not, at 47.6%. This is followed closely by Poland, Romania, and Hungary, with values exceeding 42%. In contrast, Denmark and Sweden report the lowest values, at 13% and 10.6%, respectively. The data suggests a higher prevalence of this family arrangement in Eastern and Southern European countries compared to their Western and Northern counterparts.

Future trends to watch include potential shifts due to evolving economic conditions and employment patterns, especially in regions with traditionally high values. Policymakers may also influence these numbers by implementing support for dual-income families or further integrating employment opportunities.
