In the lowest <strong>in</strong>come qu<strong>in</strong>tile the share of SNA production is 9 per cent <strong>and</strong> <strong>in</strong><br />
the highest <strong>in</strong>come qu<strong>in</strong>tile almost 16 per cent.<br />
Look<strong>in</strong>g at the share of non-SNA production attributable to different<br />
pr<strong>in</strong>cipal functions, we f<strong>in</strong>d that hous<strong>in</strong>g accounted for the largest (around<br />
40%) <strong>and</strong> the provision of meals for the second largest proportion (30–35%) of<br />
the value of household output <strong>in</strong> most household types (Figure 15). Among<br />
young people liv<strong>in</strong>g alone, the pr<strong>in</strong>cipal function of hous<strong>in</strong>g accounted for<br />
about one-half of non-SNA production.<br />
In s<strong>in</strong>gle-person households over 65, the value of the provision of meals<br />
was somewhat greater than the value of hous<strong>in</strong>g. In families with small<br />
children, childcare accounted for 30 per cent of the total value of household<br />
production, while hous<strong>in</strong>g <strong>and</strong> the provision of meals both accounted for<br />
around 27 per cent. The share of the childcare <strong>and</strong> adult care varied widely<br />
between different household types. Among s<strong>in</strong>gle parents the figure was 14<br />
per cent, <strong>in</strong> families with schoolchildren 8 per cent <strong>and</strong> <strong>in</strong> others less than 4<br />
per cent.<br />
In most households cloth<strong>in</strong>g accounted for around 10 per cent of output.<br />
The figure for volunteer work was also almost 10 per cent <strong>in</strong> most households,<br />
but for elderly people liv<strong>in</strong>g alone, young couples <strong>and</strong> time-pressed<br />
s<strong>in</strong>gle-parent households <strong>and</strong> families with small children, the figure was no<br />
more than around 5 per cent. Pet care accounted for between 2 <strong>and</strong> 6 per cent<br />
of the value of household production. With the s<strong>in</strong>gle exception of families<br />
with children, pet care accounted for a larger proportion of household<br />
production than the care of people.<br />
