among those with children. The opposite situation can be observed among married couples where childless families are in more favourable conditions with a higher proportion of owners. Despite an improvement in the average size of dwellings, the share of consensual unions living in one-room dwellings is still high (23 percent) compared to married couples (7-8 percent). Since 1990 the proportion of those living in two-room dwellings has remained unchanged (45 percent), while the share of those living in larger ones has grown by 2 percentage points, to 32. The least favourable is the situation in the capital where every third consensual unión live in one-room dwelling, while the share of those living in larger ones is under the country average. In other towns, two-room dwellings are the most frequent (46-47 percent), in rural areas however, most families live in flats with two or three rooms. Similarily to the case of married couples, it is in other larger úrban areas, that the relatíve share of consensual unions living in dwellings with four or more rooms, is the highest (11 percent). The equipment of dwellings of consensual unions is behind that of married couples, too. 80 percent of cohabiting partners live in dwellings provided with network water, and a fiirther 3 percent in flats with domestic water system, i.e. despite the almost 10 percentage point improvement in the last years, one fífth of these families have dwellings not provided with network water, while the respective share is only somé 10 percent among married couples. Since 1990, the share of such families living in dwellings supplied with sewage has increased by 8 percentage points, but most of this improvement concerned the supply with less modern and hygienic domestic sewage installations. The proportion of consensual unions living in dwellings provided with flush toilet is 74 percent. They are more frequent among families with no children. 78 percent of consensual unions occupy dwellings having a bathroom, as opposed to the far more favourable, 92 percent rate among married couples. Those living in dwellings with bathroom are mostly provided with hot water, too. 17 percent of families get hot water írom network or central boiler, while the share of those using gas or electric boiler is almost three times as much. This difference is greater among married couples: the respective shares are 16 and 70 percent. Since 1990, the share of those occupying dwellings provided with network gas has increased by 15 percentage points, resulting in a 52 percent share at present. Since network gas usually replaces cylinder gas, the improvement in supply of gas in totál is more modest, only by 5 percentage points more than the 80 percent share six years earlier. 18 percent of consensual unions live in dwellings with district heating which is similar to the rate observed six years before. Because of the increasing share of systems heating one dwelling or detached family house, the proportion of those using other kinds of central heating has changed significantly. Their share has risen írom 16 to 24 percent for six years, still far behind the respective 43 percent share among married couples. Despite the almost 10 percentage point decrease in the last years, the share of consensual unions using seperate heating of places is still really high (58 percent). Childless consensual unions occupy more properly equipped dwellings of better quality than those with children, and this diíference has become more considerable through the last years. Among married couples, families with children have better conditions, but as opposed to consensual unions, with no marked change. The 40 percent share of cohabiting partners living in dwellings with all amenities (íull comfort) is by more than 15 percentage points less than the respective proportion within married couples. The proportion of cohabiting partners living in dwellings provided with principal amenities is 30 percent, in dwellings with a part of amenities (half-comfort) 5 percent, while a fiirther quarter live in dwellings without comfort (21 percent) or in emergency accomodations and other lodgings. 22
