V. EXPLANATION OF CONCEPTS

TENURE STATUS OF THE HOUSEHOLDS IN THE DWELLING Households including the owner or the beneficial owner of the dwelling, live by owner's tenure. As relative of the owner of the dwelling lives the household in which the owner (beneficial owner) of the dwelling does not live there but at least one member of the household is a relative (e.g. child, grandchild, brother, sister, parent) of the owner and uses the dwelling without paying a rent. By tenant's tenure lives the household if it has a person who rents the whole dwelling with all its places from a state body, co-operative or priváté person for exclusive use or receives it, as a benefit related to the scope of his/her work (employment-related dwellings) and pays a rent. By the tenure of the tenant's relative li^es the household in the dwelling when the tenant of the dwelling does not live there but at least one member of the household is a relative of the tenant. By the tenure of co-tenant lives the household which uses the dwelling — on the basis of an allocation received from the housing authority — jointly with two or more households but as an independent tenant. The co-tenants use their own rooms exclusively and the other places jointly in proportion to their respective shares in the tenancy. By sub-tenant's tenure live the households which rent at least one room exclusively in the owner's, tenant's etc. dwelling. The tenure of the dwelling of the household is bed-tenancy if the household uses no separate place, but only a bed, exclusively in the dwelling. By other tenure live those households whose tenure of dwelling cannot be assigned to any of the above definitions (e.g. user of dwelling by favour, without tenure, supporter for dwelling). FAMILY The family is the smallest circle of persons living together as spouses or cohabiting partners or kins. The family may consist of persons living together as spouses or cohabiting partners without a child or with never-married child/ren/, as well as of a parent living without a spouse or cohabiting partner with never married child/ren/ (so-called family of "one parent with child" type.) A foster parent is alsó considered as a parent. A child living in a family is a person whose marital status is never-married "child", irrespective of his/her age. The number of children includes adopted and foster children as well as children born out of the marriage but does not include the children in state care placed at the families. In the case of the retrospective data of 1949 and 1960, the number of children includes alsó the number of married, widowed and divorced children as well as that of the grandchildren living with the grandparent without a parent. FAMILY COMPOSITION The family composition is the grouping of the families according to the following: — a married couple without child or with never-married child/ren/, — a cohabitation partnership without child or with never-married child/ren/, — a parent (father or mother) living without a spouse or cohabiting partner, with never-married child/ren/, . taking into consideration alsó the number of children living in the family. 266
