of family with non-manual occupation have no third-level educational attainment, irrespective of the type of locality. 86 percent of 446 thousand single parent families living in dwellings

3 occupy their dwellings as owners or owners' relatives. The relevant share is 85 percent among families with a lone mother and 88 percent among those with a lone father, which is below the 92 percent proportion of that observed among couples. The share of single parent families living as owners is, like in the case of other types of family, the lowest in the capital (76 percent), it is 83 percent in county towns and 85 percent in other úrban areas. The share of owners is by far the highest in rural areas (95 percent). Despite the lowest share of owners in those areas, the rates in the capital and in county towns represent the increasing effect of the privatisation of state-owned dwellings which began in the late eighties and peaked in the first half of the nineties, but still going on. 14 percent of families with a single mother and more than 11 percent of those with a single father live in the dwelling as tenants or tenants' relatives, while only 8 percent of couples rent their dwelling. The share of single parent families living by tenant's right is almost a quarter (23 percent) in the capital, pointing out that few of them were able to purchase their rented fiat in the tenement-dwelling privatisation process. The proportion of single parent families living in one-room dwellings is by 6 percentage points higher than that of couple-type families with children in spite of the fact that their share is gradually decreasing. Now 12 percent of them live in one-room and a further 45 percent in tworoom dwellings. The share of single parent families living in three-room dwellings is almost one third, while the share of those living in larger ones (11 percent) hasn't changed during the last years. The share of couples with children living in one-room dwellings doesn't even reach 7 percent, two fifth of them live in three-room dwellings and 20 percent is the share of those living in dwellings with four rooms or more which shows the much more favourable housing conditions of that type of family. An extremely high proportion (16 percent) of single parent families living in one-room dwellings can be observed in the capital, while the share of those living in larger ones is less than the average. In other úrban areas only every tenth single parent family lives in one-room dwelling, while those living in two-room dwellings are frequent (47 percent). In rural areas the prpoportion of single parent families living in dwellings having three or more rooms is above the average because of the traditional practice of building larger dwellings with more rooms. At present 13 percent of single parent families still live in dwellings withou being supplied with piped network water, while the respective share among couples with children doesn't reach 7 percent. A gradual improvement can be observed in sewage. Since 1990, the share of single parent families occupying dwellings supplied with sewage has increased by 5 percentage points, their present 90 percent proportion is only 4 percentage point less than that of couples with children.The proportion of single parent families occupying dwellings supplied with a flush toilet increased by 7 percentage points in six years, it is 82 percent at present. The increase was slower in the case of couple-type families (3 percent), yet their share in this respect is still higher (89 percent). Although the proportion of single parent families occupying dwellings supplied with hot water (84 percent) is by 6 percentage point less than the respective share of couples with children, but with a better quality because of the higher proportion of district- and separate boiler heating. 3 The almost 2 thousand single parent families living in other occupied housing units are excluded. 19
