The table gives information on the percentages and the number of poor people in different kinds of family

recorded in Australia in 1999.

Overall, the figure of impoverished individuals in a household category was not comparable to that of others.
Underprivileged people accounted for the least percentages in families consisting of elderly people, making up
roughly 5% in both types, which was followed by the figure of childless couples of 7%. The rate of single person
living in poverty was considerably higher, with 359,000 people occupying nearly 20% of the group.
The percentage of poverty-stricken families was higher in single parent kind, with 21% measured. Though the
proportion of couples with children was only half that of the former kind, 933,000 of them were impoverished,
constituting about 50% of the total quantity.
