Families with Children Living at Home, 1996 - Married couples with no children living at home

The majority of children in 1996 were living in a married-couple family. In 1996, 73 out of 100 children were in these families as compared to 78 out of 100 in 1991. As a proportion of married couples, 29% represented families without children. The large percentage of families without children is partially attributed to the increasing number of families with children "leaving the nest". A small proportion of married couples have chosen to remain childless.
