The given table depicts the
proportion of Australian population under poverty. It also compares the
proportion of household types spending their lives under extreme poor
conditions.
Of the gross population of
inhabitants spending their lives in poor financial conditions, around 6%, or 54000 single old people do not have enough
resources. Similarly, the ratio of people living in alone without children was
19% or rather 359000 and the proportion of single parents was 232000 that meant
21% of proportions in the category.
However, the proportion of
poor people living as couples was relatively lower than the people living
single. The proportion of old couples under the poverty line was 4%, or 48,000.
Similarly, the proportion of childless couples spending their lives in poor condition
was 7%, i.e. 211,000. The ratio of families with children facing scarcity of
basic resources like money, i.e. couples having children was 12%, or rather 933,000.
