Although the high poverty rate among large families has been well-known for at least two decades and Spanish family policy has a strong focus on large families, advances in reducing poverty have been very limited.

The arrival of immigrants has counterbalanced the exodus of young people born in rural areas in a small way: Foreign-born people represent 10% of the total rural population in Spain and 16% in the case of people between 20 and 39years of age (Camarero, Sampedro and Reales, 2020[63]). In Spain, the increased availability of paternity leave and joint physical custody starting in 2007 appear to contribute to higher involvement by fathers (Flaquer and Escobedo, 2020[33]; Meil, 2011[34]).

This is particularly true for households with children, which tend to be more vulnerable than other population groups. read full report here. . Nuclear is the world's second largest source of low-carbon power (28% of the total in 2019). Complementary qualitative research conducted in the same period indicated that some mothers, in particular those who worked in less qualified jobs, opted for paid unemployment when it was possible, for example after completing a temporary contract. Secondly, the statistic includes older teenagers who were born at a time when out-of-wedlock birth were still less frequent. While the share of traditional nuclear family has declined over time due to legal and societal changes, it nonetheless remains the predominant family model. Many adult children do not move out of their parental home until they are older than is typical in many other OECDcountries. These shares are almost identical to the EU28 averages. 61-97.

The percentage of nuclear-family households is approximately half what it was at its peak in the middle of the 20th century. Until the 1980s, Spain was predominantly a country of emigration, but has become an important destination for immigrants since then. The sharp increase in housing costs from the turn of the millennium onwards accelerated the transition to the dual earner family model. Of that total, 54.2 percent were nuclear-family households, and 38.1 percent were one-person households. Note: Households with less than 50% of median equivalised income are considered at risk of poverty.

Since the beginning of the 21st century, the annual birth rate in Spanish rural territories has been around 6-7 per 1000 inhabitants, while the mortality rate has been around 11-14 per 1000, leading to negative natural growth (Pinilla and Sez, 2017[59]). 2.8.2.

What is striking is the decline in the proportional share of nuclear households in urban areas.

Housing affordability in Spain is only slightly worse than the OECD average, and only 3% of the population live in over-crowded conditions compared to 12% across the OECD. Rural schools present more complexity in their organisation due the lack of resources and children, but they may also be spaces for implementing innovative learning practices, such as rural learning communities involving parental participation.
