Families with children spend, on average, 658 euros per month – TVI24

families with children spent, on average, less 74 euros in 2015 and 2016 than five years ago, but continue to spend more than 600 euros per month that they spend in the households without dependent children.

according To the provisional results of the Expenditure Survey of Households 2015/2016, released this Monday by the National Statistics Institute (INE), the average annual spending of households with dependent children was 25.892 euros.

five years Ago, when the INE released the latest Expenditure Survey of Households (with data 2010/2011), households with dependent children spent 26.775 euros per year.

This means that families with children were able to reduce by almost 74 euros per month (3,3%) in comparison to that spent in 2010/2011.

as for the households without children saw their annual expenditure increase of 7.7%, 16.705 € 17.997 euros, or almost 108 euros a month.

These figures allow to conclude that the difference between households with and without children narrowed over the last five years: in 2010/2011 the families with children spent more than 60% than those without dependent children (about 840 euros per month); today spend more than 44%, about 658 euros per month on average.

according To the INE, the pattern of expenditure annual average differs in the two types of family, most significantly in spending on housing, education and transport: households without dependent children spend more on housing (34,3%) than families with children (28,8%), and least in education (by 0.7% compared to 4,0%) and in transport (by 13.5% compared to 16.1%).

still Refer to the difference in the level of expenditures in health (6.6% in families with children, and 4.5% in households without children), food and non-alcoholic beverages (15% versus 13.7%) and in clothing and footwear (by 2.8% against 4%).

"The weight of expenditure on health is relatively higher for households without dependent children in which there is at least one elderly person, representing 9.3% in the case of the elderly who live alone and 8.2% in the case of a family consisting of two or more adults, in which at least one of them is the elderly", says the INE.

it Is also for the elderly who live alone, he adds, that the relative weight of expenditure on housing, water, electricity, gas and other fuels "is the highest, constituting by 41.5% of the costs of such aggregates, in comparison with the national average of 31.8%".

The annual expenditure of average households increased by 2.6% in 2015/16, compared to 2010/2011, for 20.916 euros.
