European Share of Households with Three or More Adults with Dependent Children by Country

The data for 2023 shows a significant variation in the share of households with three or more adults with dependent children across European countries. Macedonia leads with 25.4%, followed by Montenegro at 19.5%, and Serbia at 15.8%. In contrast, Nordic countries like Finland, Denmark, and Sweden exhibit the lowest percentages, with Finland at the bottom with 1%.
