1. Executive summary

In 2006 the City of Melbourne had approximately 40,000 households:

14,000 of them were family households; and

almost 2,400 of those family households were families with a child aged 0 to 12 years.

Families with children 1. in 2006 the City of Melbourne had approximately 14,000 family households. Almost 2,400 of those family

households were families with a child aged 0 to 12 years; 2. there were 8,650 people living in families with a child aged 0 to 12 years (See figure 1 on pg 5).; 3. most (over 60%) families with a child aged 0-12 years lived in Kensington, North Melbourne or Carlton;

Basic demographics 4. one quarter of the population living in families with a child aged 0-12 years was aged 0-5 years and

overall, 43.5% of was aged 0-12 years; 5. approximately 1,500 dependent students live in 1,100 families with a child aged 0-12 years and around

another 1,450 non-dependent children live in 1,200 families with a child aged 0-12 years; 6. The most common non-English language spoken at home by people in families with a child aged 0-12

years was Somali. Other main languages spoken by people in this family type (although small numbers) were: Mandarin; Cantonese; Vietnamese; Arabic; Italian; Indonesian; Greek; Turkish; Hindi. These languages would be most appropriate for communicating and promoting to Council’s services and activities to people in families with a child aged 0-12 years.

Family composition and housing 7. the decline in numbers of children after the 0-5 year age cohort suggests families with a child aged 0 to 12

years tend to migrate out of the municipality when a child/children reach primary school age; This finding has implications for the City of Melbourne’s population forecasting project. In particular, City of Melbourne will need to consider the impact of household formation and migration decisions made by families with children.

8. one fifth of families with a child aged 0-12 years were lone parent families, which was a high proportion. They were most concentrated in North Melbourne (largest number in the City), Kensington and Carlton;

9. half the City of Melbourne’s families with a child aged 0-12 years rent the dwelling in which they live;

Communications 10. a majority of families with a child aged 0-12 years had internet connections at home and in fact the

majority of internet connections were broadband connections, which makes the internet a good way of communicating with, promoting to and servicing these families;

Education and tertiary students living in families 11. there were fewer than 500 tertiary students living in families with a child aged 0-12 years;

Labour force and incomes 12. of those people in families with a child aged 0-12 years only 5% were unemployed, which is a small rate; 13. lone parents in families with a child aged 0-12 years, had low employment and labour force participation

rates (almost 60% of female and almost 50% of male, lone parents in families with a child aged 0-12 years, were unemployed or not in the labour force);

14. 14% of people in families with a child aged 0-12 years earned incomes of below $500 per week, higher than for people in the municipality overall (5%), with the highest proportion earning incomes below $500 per week in Carlton (26%);

Impact of the municipal boundary amendment 15. in July 2008 the City of Melbourne took over the administration of parts of Kensington and North

Melbourne that were previously under the City of Moonee Valley. The boundary re-alignment increased the usually resident population by 4,750 usual residents; and

16. the boundary amendment also increased the total number of families with a child aged 0-12 years counted in the City by 325 (15%). Over 150 were counted in Kensington and North Melbourne, each. This increase in families is likely to have resource implications for the City of Melbourne’s provision of child and family service, such as Maternal and Child Health Services, child care, family counseling, etc.

1. Introduction

On Census night in 2006, the City of Melbourne had approximately 40,000 households. Of these there were over 14,000 family households, including almost 2,400 with a child aged 0 to 12 years (or 17% of families or 6% of households). There were also 33,375 people in families in the City of Melbourne. Around 8,650 (26% of people in families or 9.5% of those in households) were living in families with a child aged 0 to 12 years.

In the City of Melbourne’s Municipal Early Years Plan children are acknowledged as deserving the best possible start in life. The Plan recognises support and services need to focus, not only on the child, but the child’s family so the child and any siblings can benefit from Council’s initiatives.

The approach of the Plan is that, “Valuing children and ensuring that families have access to services, along with a whole-of-community approach to supporting children and families, will ensure these important and youngest members of the community can thrive in the municipality”.

Therefore the primary purpose of this paper is to inform City of Melbourne and Council about families and children living in the municipality.

It also analyses how the number of children and families in the City changed due to municipal boundary re-alignment in 2008. The implications are important to understand as changes will encompass new areas of Kensington and North Melbourne (previously under administration of City of Moonee Valley) with new residents who need services.

For this profile, a large amount of information regarding families and children was collated, compared and contrasted to the remainder of the municipality’s population. This profile analysed family households (and all people in family households), by the age of their youngest child under 15 years. Children in this case are defined as aged dependent children between 0 years and 12 years (a dependent child is a child aged less than 15 years or a full time dependent student aged 15 to 24 years). Families where the youngest dependent child was aged over 13 years were not included. For more detail about young people and their families see City of Melbourne’s Young People Profile or the Appendices in the back of this profile.

2. Objectives

This paper will aim to answer the following questions on the nature of the families and children:

how many families and children are there in the municipality?

what are the basic demographic characteristics of the municipality’s families and children?

what are skills and occupations of children’s parents?

what incomes do families earn, when parents do work? and

how do families and children live here (housing and household characteristics and lifestyle)?

how does the municipal boundary re-alignment in 2008 affect the number and overall characteristics of families and children in the cit of Melbourne.

3. A note about family and children data

3.1. Measures of population

Australia's population can be measured in several ways (ABS Fact Sheet), including:

Census counts by place of enumeration;

Census counts by place of usual residence; and

estimated resident population (this method will not be discussed further in this report).

The count by place of enumeration is a count of every person in the City of Melbourne on Census Night, based on where they were located that night. This may or may not be the place at which they usually reside.



Usual residence data are Census counts based on where people usually lived at the time of the Census. It provides information on the usually resident population of the City. The 2006 Census asked three questions on usual residence; where the person usually lives on Census Night, where the person usually lived one year ago and where the person usually lived five years ago.

3.2. Rationale for using counts by place of enumeration

Data used in the family and children profile are based on place of enumeration. The 2006 Census usual resident population data does not report variables for dwelling/family/household composition because it cannot code back to the usual place of residence of a family/dwelling. The variables used in this report are based on the dwelling where a person was enumerated.

In this report, tables about persons include all those enumerated in the City of Melbourne on Census night, including those staying in ‘visitor only’ and ‘non-classifiable households’. Visitor and non-classifiable households were incorporated into the ‘Not Applicable’, category (for the purposes of this report) with group and lone person households (also referred to as non-family households).

3.3. Impact of using counts by place of enumeration

According to the 2006 Census, the count of persons by usual residence in the City of Melbourne was approximately 76,150 people.

The count of persons by place of enumeration in the City of Melbourne was, however around 89,900 people (the difference between the two counts is over 13,000 people). The difference is explained by Visitor, non-classifiable households and usual residents enumerated elsewhere on census night.

The tables in the enumerated profile used by this report exclude overseas visitors in the City of Melbourne on Census night.

4. Geographic overview of the City’s families with children

4.1. Families in the City of Melbourne

In 2006 there were:

approximately 14,000 family households in the City of Melbourne (35% of 40,000 households/families in total);

Figure 1. Family/household composition, 2006

Families w ith a child aged 13-14

years, 266

Families w ith a child aged 0-12

years, 2,420

Non-Family households,

26,044

Families w ith no children under 15

years, 11,326

of those families around 4,500 (32% of families and 11% of all households) were families with dependent children aged up to 15 years in ‘couple families’ and ‘lone parent families’;

6



there were nearly 1,800 (less than 4% of households and 13% of families) ‘other family’ types (related individuals, none aged under 15 years); and

the remaining families were ‘couple families without children’ (which may include other related individuals who are not dependent children).

Figure 2. All families/households by family/household type, 2006 Family/Household Type No. % Couple without Children 7,705 19.2% Couple with Children 3,006 7.5% Lone Parent Family 1,518 3.8% Other Family 1,783 4.5% Family Type Not Applicable 1,465 3.7% Lone Person Household 12,061 30.1% Group Person Household 5,523 13.8% VIsitor Only Household 1,720 4.3% Other not Classifiable Household 4,760 11.9% Not Applicable (Unoccupied Private Dwelling, Migratory, off shore and Shipping CD's) 515 1.3% Total households 40,056 100.0%

At the small area level (See Appendices for details) families (including families without children aged under 15 years) were concentrated in:

Kensington (2,000 or 14% of the City’s families, 48% of Kensington’s households – the highest proportion of families in any small area);

Melbourne CBD (16% of families were in this small area – the highest in the municipality); and

North Melbourne (14% of the City’s households); and

Carlton (13% of the City’s households).

Families with children under the age of 15 years were most concentrated in Kensington and North Melbourne (14% of the municipality’s families with children under 15 years, each).

Docklands had the City of Melbourne’s smallest proportion of families with children under the age of 15 years, because of the predominance in that area, of ‘couple families with no children’.

While West Melbourne had a relatively high proportion of families (41%), these were predominantly ‘couple families without children’.

4.2. People living in families

In City of Melbourne there were almost 33,400 persons in families, or 37% of 89,000 people (below). Of those:

around 9,500 (28.5% of people families and 10.5% of the total population) lived in families with a child aged under 15 years; and

the remaining persons (23,900) in families, were in ‘families with no children under 15 years’ (6,150 of them are dependent children/students aged 15 to 24 years or non-dependent children aged 15 to 24 years).

Figure 3. Persons in Families by Age of youngest child, 2006 Family and age of youngest child No. % Age of youngest child: 0-5 years 5,728 6.4% Age of youngest child: 6-8 years 1,362 1.5% Age of youngest child: 9-12 years 1,564 1.7% Age of youngest child: 13-14 years 838 0.9% Families with no children under 15 years 23,883 26.6% Not applicable (non family households, not counted in private dwellings etc.) 56,536 62.9%

Total 89,911 100.0%

Furthermore, in the City of Melbourne:



people in families (including families without children aged under 15 years) were most concentrated in Kensington (15.5% of all families in the City), North Melbourne (15% of all families in the City) and the CBD (15% of all families in the City); and

people in families with (dependent) children aged under 15 years were most concentrated in Kensington (2,200 or 23% of all families in the City), North Melbourne (2,100 or 22% of all families in the City) and Carlton (over 1,500 or 16.5% of all families in the City).

5. Demographic profile

5.1. Age and gender profile

Age structure of the population provides an indication of the likely demand for a range of services and facilities, is an indicator of demand for housing and is essential in estimating and forecasting population change.

Analysis of these basic demographic characteristics of families with a child aged 0-12 years reveals:

larger proportions of females (53%) than males (47%), overall;

a large proportion of children aged under 6 years (24.5%);

another 24.5% of the population in families with a child aged 0-12 years was aged 35 to 44 years;

females outnumbered males in the 25 to 44 year age groups (perhaps single parents); and

males outnumbered females in the age groups 45 to 74 years (perhaps a combination of male single parents and differences in age).

Figure 4. Age and gender profile of people living in families with children, 2006 Age Male Female Total 0 - 5 1,080 1,030 2,110 6 - 8 360 377 737 9 - 12 500 424 924 13 - 15 138 166 304 16 - 24 145 204 349 25 - 34 480 829 1,309 35 - 44 944 1,189 2,133 45 - 54 375 273 648 55 - 64 69 35 104 65 - 74 3 6 9 75 years and over 6 21 27 Total 4,100 4,554 8,654

The figure above (the decline in numbers of children after the 0-5 year age cohort) also suggests that families with a child aged 0 to 12 years tend to migrate out of the municipality when a child/children reach primary school age. Further analysis would be of benefit.

5.1.1. Summary In families with a child aged 0-12 years, there were nearly 3,800 (43.5% of the population ‘families with children’) children aged under 13 years.

The decline in numbers of children (in families with a child aged 0 to 12 years) after the 0-5 year age cohort suggests families with a child aged 0 to 12 years tend to migrate out of the municipality when a child/children reach primary school age.

5.2. Cultural and ethnic diversity of families with children

5.2.1. Birthplace Birthplace data identifies the country in which a person was born and is indicative of cultural backgrounds and the level of cultural diversity in an area. Birthplace should be considered in conjunction with data on Language Spoken at Home and Religion for a more complete understanding of cultural diversity and ethnicity in the municipality. It is also important to understand the patterns of migration in to and out of the municipality.

Analysis compared people in families with a child aged 0-12 years against the top 21 birthplaces of the City of Melbourne’s population and revealed:

over 62% of people in families with a child aged 0-12 years were born in Australia, compared to 44% in the City’s total population (usually resident population-see the Multicultural Profile). This is not surprising, since nearly half the population in ‘families with children’ is aged under 13 years (and perhaps more likely to have been born in Australia);

main overseas backgrounds of people in families with children included:

China (299 or 3.5%);

notably, Somalia (261, 3.0%), which was not among the most common five birthplaces of usual residents (see the Multicultural Profile);

Vietnam (247 or 2.9%);

United Kingdom (221 or 2.6%);

New Zealand (182 or 2.1%); and

India (181 or 2.1%).

5.2.2. Year of arrival (in Australia) of people in families with children Year of Arrival data indicates the year or period when the overseas born population arrived in Australia. Recent arrival numbers in the City of Melbourne are often determined by:

housing opportunities (residential and student apartments);

availability of education services;



employment opportunities; and

pre-existing communities in the area.

Year of arrival data can be used in conjunction with information on Birthplace, Religion and Language as a means of informing decision-makers about the ethnic composition and cultural diversity of an area.

Year of arrivalBirthplace

Analysis demonstrates India was the most common birthplace of overseas born people in families with a child aged 0-12 years who arrived in Australian between 2001 and 2006 (130 people, or 71% of people Indian born people in families with children-the largest proportion).

Among those who migrated to Australia in the same period, there was also a large number (100) of Chinese born people in families with a child.

Of those arriving between 1996 and 2001, the largest number and proportion (118 people, or 21% of all people in families with children) of overseas born people in families with a child were from Somalia (refugees).

5.2.3. Language spoken at home and English proficiency

Language spoken at home The proportion of the population that speaks a language other than English at home is indicative of how culturally diverse that population is and suggests the degree to which different ethnic groups and nationalities retain their language and identity. Understanding these characteristics and the proficiency with which the population can speak English also helps Council to understand the communication needs and abilities of its population. Internet access is also interesting from this point of view.

In the City of Melbourne:

over 41% of persons in families with a child aged 0-12 years spoke a language other than English at home (contrasted to one third of usual residents, according to the Multicultural Profile); and

in the City of Melbourne the main non-English languages spoken at home by people in families with a child aged 0-12 years were:

most notably, Somali (638 or 7.4%); which was not among the most common five languages of the total usually resident population;

Mandarin (409 or 4.7%)

Cantonese (381, 4.4%)

Vietnamese 299 or 3.5%); and

10



Arabic (279 or 3.2%).

A Chinese diaspora exists through the Asian region and the people in the City’s population families with a child aged 0-12 years who have a Chinese background can come from a diversity of language and national backgrounds. For example, Mandarin is the official language of mainland China, but is also spoken by Taiwanese and Singaporeans of Chinese ancestry. Cantonese is spoken in Hong Kong, parts of China, Macau, and in some overseas settlements. Hokkien is a language spoken in China and also by people of Chinese ancestry in places such as Malaysia which has a large ethnic Chinese population.

Hindi is among the top 10 languages spoken at home (other than English) among families with a child aged 0-12 years, in the City (This contrasts with the multicultural population, where Hindi was not among the top ten languages spoken in the municipality).

An Indian diaspora also exists and it is possible that some Malaysian and Singapore born people in the municipality have an Indian (most often Tamil, Malayalam or Telugu speaking) ancestry.

English proficiency The Census identified proficiency in spoken English for people who spoke a language other than English at home (self-rated). Overall, they regarded themselves as having high levels of proficiency in English, with more than 75% considering they spoke English ‘Very well or well’ (Excluding non-responses to the question).

People from (predominantly) Asian and Somali backgrounds rated their own English proficiency relatively lower than others:

100 Cantonese speakers (a quarter of Cantonese speaking people in families with a child aged 0-12 years);

100 Vietnamese speakers (nearly 30% of Vietnamese speaking people in families with a child aged 0-12 years); and

23% of Somali speakers (150 out of nearly 700 Somalis in families with a child aged 0-12 years).

5.2.4. Summary A majority of people in the municipality, who lived in families with a child aged 0-12 years, were Australian born and spoke English only at home.

The main birthplaces of overseas born people in families with children were China and Somalia. Main non-English languages spoken at home by people in families with children, was Somali.

Overall, a relatively low (compared to the multicultural community analyzed in the Multicultural Profile) proportion of people in families with children, who spoke a language other than English, regarded themselves as having high levels of proficiency in English. This could be the result of relatively harsh self analysis (the question was self-reported) or an accurate reflection of their own English speaking skills.

5.3. People with disabilities in families with children

5.3.1. Disabled people in families with children In 2006 the Census measured the number of people in the population with a profound or severe disability using a new tool, the Core Activity Need for Assistance. People with a profound or severe disability are defined as people needing help or assistance in one or more core activity areas: self-care, mobility and communication caused by either disability, long term health condition (lasting six months or more), or old age.

In the City of Melbourne a very small proportion of the 8,650 people in families with a child aged 0-12 years were severely or profoundly disabled (1%), according to the ABS Core Activity Need for Assistance indicator.

5.3.2. Providing unpaid care for a person with a disability The Census provided data, not just about disability, but also about provision of care to the aged and people with disabilities. Unpaid care includes, but is not limited to, bathing, dressing, toileting and feeding; helping someone to move around; helping someone be understood by others; providing emotional support and helping maintain friendships and social activities; helping with or supervising medication; dressing wounds; cleaning, laundry, cooking, managing diets and meal preparation; housework, light household repairs or maintenance, and household finances; driving or accompanying someone to appointments or activities.

The figure below reveals that over 550 (or 6.5%) of people in families with a child aged 0-12 years provided unpaid care for a person with a disability.

5.3.3. Providing unpaid child care This new Census question provides data that has not been collected in past social and economic statistics. The Census collected information on time spent looking after a child, without pay in the two weeks prior to Census night.

The above figure reveals that approximately 3,400 (43%) people in families with a child aged 0-12 years provided unpaid child care for children (theirs, others’ children or both).

Analysis also shows that in families with children, where the youngest child was under 5 years of age, 70% of people have provided unpaid childcare. It is not surprising that families with young children aged less than 5 years will be heavy users of (informal) child care.

5.3.4. Volunteer activity In recognition of the contribution of voluntary and unpaid work in the economy and society Census collected data on rates of volunteerism in the community. The Census asked whether people spent time in the past twelve months doing volunteer work through an organisation or group.

The figure below demonstrates that, in the City of Melbourne, the younger the age of the youngest child in a family, the less likely people in families with children were to have done unpaid voluntary work in the past twelve months.

5.4. Households, families and relationships

5.4.1. Family type and children Household and Family structure can reflect the City of Melbourne’s residential role and function (local housing market). It can also provide insights into the level of demand for services and facilities, since most services and facilities are specific to age or household/family type.

The City of Melbourne had over 2,400 families with a child aged 0 to 12 years (See Table 1). Of those families 1,900 (78%) were ‘couple families’ with a child aged 0-12 years and over 500 (22%-compared to 4% of all households counted on census night) were ‘lone parent’ families (one third of all lone parent families).

Families with a child aged 0-12 years were most common in (see Appendices):

Kensington, with 570 (or 23.5% of the municipality’s families with a child aged 0-12 years);

North Melbourne, over 500 (21% of families with a child aged 0-12 years); and

Carlton, where nearly 400 families with a child aged 0-12 years (or 16% of the City’s total).

Over 60% of City of Melbourne’s families with a child aged 0-12 years live in the three small areas of Carlton, Kensington and North Melbourne.

Carlton and North Melbourne each had the largest numbers and proportions of lone parent families. In Carlton lone parent families comprised one third of families with a child aged 0-12 years (over 120), while in North Melbourne they comprised 30% of families with a child aged 0-12 years (over 150). Most of the lone parent families in North Melbourne lived in the new areas transferred to the City of Melbourne in July 2008 (see section 6).

5.4.2. Dependent students in families Overall 1,100 families had dependent students (a child who is 15–24 years of age and who is a full-time student and who has no partner or child of his/her own usually resident in the same household) living with them.

Approximately 8% (200) of families with a child aged 0-12 years have at least one dependent student.

Analysis also shows that while families with a child aged 13 or 14 years are more likely (proportionally) to have at least one dependent student living with them, than other family types.

5.4.3. Non-dependent children in families Overall 1,200 families had non-dependent children living with them (a child of a couple or lone parent usually resident in the household, aged over 15 years, who is not a full-time student aged 15–24 years, and who has no partner or child of his/her own usually resident in the household).

Approximately 3% (200) of families with a child aged 0-12 years have at least one non-dependent child.

Analysis also shows that other families with a child aged 13 or 14 years or families with no dependent children aged under 15 years are more likely (proportionally) to have at least one non-dependent child living with them.

5.4.4. Summary

Over 60% of City of Melbourne’s families with a child aged 0-12 years lived in Kensington, North Melbourne and Carlton.

21.5% of the City’s families with a child aged 0-12 years were lone parent families.

Around 72% of the municipality’s lone parent families with a child aged 0-12 years lived in North Melbourne, Kensington and Carlton. In fact, North Melbourne had the largest number of lone parent families with a child aged 0-12 years.

We can estimate approximately 1,500 dependent students live in 1,100 families with a child aged 0-12 years, by summing the number of dependent students counted in the City of Melbourne’s family households.

We can estimate approximately 1,450 non-dependent children live in 1,200 families with a child aged 0-12 years, by summing the number of non-dependent children counted in the City of Melbourne’s family households.

5.5. Housing analysis

5.5.1. Dwelling type Dwelling types are important determinants/indicators of the role the City plays in the housing market. Residential environments can reflect market opportunities or planning policy.

The table below shows the types of dwellings in which families with a child aged 0-12 years lived. It includes non-family households such as group and lone person households in the ‘Not applicable’ category.

In 2006, most households in the City of Melbourne, irrespective of type, lived in flats or apartments.

Dwelling Structure

Further analysis reveals that in 2006:

proportionally, families with a child aged 0-12 years were more likely (49%) to live in separate dwellings or semi-detached dwellings than families without children or other types of household, such as ‘lone person’ or ‘group’ households; and



families without children (71%) and ‘lone person’ and ‘group’ households (80%) were more common in flats and apartments, which is not surprising.

5.5.2. Tenure Tenure data provides insight into the socio-economic status of an area as well as the role the area plays in the housing market, e.g. a concentration of private renters suggests an area attractive to young singles/couples. Tenure can also reflect built form, with greater shares of renters in high density housing.

The table below illustrates the tenure and dwelling structure in which families with children age 0-12 years live:

half of the municipality’s families with a child aged 0-12 years were living in rented dwellings (including all types of private rental, public housing rental and living rent-free-to maintain confidentiality the category had to be combined); and

another 35.5% (860) of families with a child aged 0-12 years were living in dwellings that they were purchasing.

The above, analysis also compared tenure and dwelling types in which families with a child aged 0-12 years lived. This further highlighted that the largest number and percentage (850 or 35%) of these families rented in flats units and apartments (including all types of private rental, public housing rental and living rent-free-to maintain confidentiality the category had to be combined).

5.6. Motor vehicle ownership

The ability of the population to access services and employment is strongly influenced by transport access. The number of motor vehicles per household quantifies access to private transport. Reasons why households differ in the number of vehicles they have access to can be explained by: population age structure, household type, (which influence household size and number of adults); access to public transport; proximity to work or services; and household income.

The data below is an indicator of car ownership, and the number of cars owned or parked/garaged at the dwellings where the population was enumerated (counted) on Census night.

The figure below reveals families generally (and families with a child aged 0-12 years in particular) were more likely to have one or two motor vehicles, than other non-family households types (under the ‘not applicable’ category).

The above finding is underlined by the fact (although unsurprising) that non-family households more commonly did not have motor vehicles (9,700, 37% of non-family households and 76% of all households with no motor vehicles).

5.7. Internet connection at home

Broadband internet access is necessary to participate in the ‘new economy’ and households with dial-up or no internet service may be increasingly disadvantaged in the information age. Increasingly fast internet access is required for accessing essential information and undertaking domestic and non-domestic business as both government and the private sector are increasingly conducting their business, or aspects of it, on-line.

Internet connection at home


It is also crucial to the City of Melbourne to understand residents’ level of access to the internet, for the purpose of assessing the usefulness and comprehensiveness of the internet as a tool for the provision of news, information and services to stakeholders.

Analysis of the figure above revealed that:

family households, generally, were more likely to have an internet connection than non-family households (i.e. ‘lone person’ or ‘group’ households); and

families with a child aged 0-12 years were more likely (60%) to have a broadband connection to the internet, at home, than other non-family households (44%). It should be noted however, that a large proportion of non-family households did not respond to this question.

5.7.1. Summary Although most households in the City of Melbourne lived in flats or apartments, families with a child aged 0-12 years were still more likely than other households/families to live in separate houses, or semi-detached, row or terrace dwellings.

Half the City of Melbourne’s families with a child aged 0-12 years rent the dwelling in which they live.

Families with a child aged 0-12 years were more likely to have a motor vehicle.

A majority of families with a child aged 0-12 years had internet connections at home in 2006 and in fact the majority of internet connections were broadband connections.

5.8. Attending educational institutions

The City of Melbourne is particularly known for its large and vibrant tertiary education sector and the size of its tertiary student community.

The share of population attending educational institutions can reflect the age structure of the population, which influences the number of children attending school; the degree to which local people are seeking out post-secondary educational opportunities; and the marketing of education as a locally available product or service.



The table below compares educational institution attending with the birthplaces (Australia/overseas) of children in families where the youngest child is aged 0-12 years. Although it highlights overseas born students it does indicate the number of overseas or international students who live in families in the City of Melbourne. For more information of international students living in the City of Melbourne, read the City of Melbourne Student Profile.

The table above reveals that in 2006:

There were only 500 tertiary students (6% of people in families with a child aged 0-12 years) living in families with children;

the largest number and proportion of people in the City of Melbourne who were living in families with a child aged 0-12 years and attending an educational institution (i.e. students, generally), were attending a Government primary school (10% or nearly 900);

a higher proportion of Australian born students in families with a child aged 0-12 years attend pre-school, primary or secondary schools (in total) than overseas born students in families with children (76.5% compared to 21%); and

Overseas born students in families with children were more likely to attend TAFE, University or other educational institutions (60% compared to 37%).

5.9. Employment, skills and incomes

‘Qualification’ describes the level of education of a person’s highest completed non-school qualification. With other data sources, such as Income and Occupation, Educational Qualifications help to evaluate the economic opportunities and socio-economic status of an area.

Figure 20: Qualifications (non-school) of people in families with children, 2006 Qualification No. %

The table below shows that while nearly 4,000 or 46% of people in families with a child aged 0-12 years were recorded as ‘not applicable’ (likely, children without qualifications/too young to attend school):

almost 17% of people in families with a child aged 0-12 years had bachelor degrees;

9% of people in families with a child aged 0-12 years had post graduate qualifications; and

around 15.5% of people in families with a children aged 0-12 years had school qualifications.

5.9.1. Labour force status and employment Employment Status is an important indicator of socio-economic status. Employment Status is linked to a number of factors, including the age structure of the population, which for example influences the number of persons in the workforce; the economic base and employment opportunities available in the area;

The figure below reveals:

almost 3,200 people in families with a child aged 0-12 years were in the labour force;

almost 3,000 of them were employed;

The 2008 boundary of City of Melbourne includes the new areas of Kensington and north Melbourne, transferred from City of Monee Valley to City of Melbourne.

people in living in families with a child aged 0-12 years, in East Melbourne were the most likely to be employed (over 80%);

in Carlton over 44% of people in families with a child aged 0-12 years were not in the labour force; and

in the City of Melbourne, the proportion of people in families with a child aged 0-12 years (excluding people under the age of 15 years – who are not applicable) who were not in the labour force, was relatively lower (30%) than for the ‘youth’ population (39%, see the Young People Profile). This difference could be explained by the large size of the full-time student population living in the municipality.

Analysis also considered the gender and employment status of parent in families with children. The results show:

there were 50 male lone parents (in families with a child aged 0-12 years) in the City and 50% of them were either unemployed or not in the labour force. By comparison only 12% of male parents in couple families with children were unemployed;

there were nearly 500 female ‘lone parents’ in families with children age 0-12 years, in the municipality. There were almost 1,900 females in couple families with children age 0-12 years;

almost 750 females in couple families with a child aged 0-12 years were not in the labour force (full-time parents); and

of nearly 500 female single parents in families with a child aged 0-12 years, 275 (or almost 60%) were either unemployed or not in the labour force.

5.9.2. Occupations of people in families with children Occupation data identifies the occupations in which the residents work (within the City of Melbourne or elsewhere) and is an important indicator of the characteristics of the labour force. With other indicators, such as Educational Qualifications and Income, Occupation is a key component of evaluating the socio-economic status and skill base of an area. Occupations held by a workforce relate to the economic base; employment opportunities available; educational qualifications and the working and social aspirations of the population.

Of those persons in families with a child aged 0-12 years there were:

1,300 employed professionals (or 44%);

550 managers (18.5%); and

over 300 Clerical and Administrative Workers (11%).

In summary the occupation profile of people in families with a child aged 0-12 years demonstrated higher proportions of professionals (44% compared to 35%) and managers (18.5% compared to 14.5%) as well as a lower proportion of proportion of clerical and administrative workers (11% compared to approximately 23.5%), than in the City’s worker population (see the Working Population Profile).

The table above indicates that people in the following occupations were most likely to work less than 25 hours per week:

Community and Personal Service Workers (predominantly females workers);

Sales Workers (predominantly females workers, suggesting employed females in the familles with a child aged 0-12 years were more likely to do part-time work in Sales or community and personal services sectors); and

Labourers.

5.9.3. Income analysis The amount of income received is linked to a number of factors including: employment status; age (students and retirees often receive a lower income); qualifications; and the type of employment.

The income analysis demonstrates that in families with a child age 0-12 years an income of $650-$799 per week was the threshold at which the number and proportion of employed people, began to exceed the proportion of people not in the workforce.

Appendices reveal at the small area level that:

in Carlton, 26% of people in families with a child aged 0-12 years were in families with incomes of less than $500 per week (highest proportion in the municipality); and



the lowest proportions of people in families with a child aged 0-12 years earning incomes under $500 per week lived in Docklands, East Melbourne and South Yarra.

5.9.4. Summary There were only 500 tertiary students (6% of people in families with children) living in families with a child aged 0-12 years.

There were slightly more students (living in families with a child aged 0-12 years) attending Secondary schools than there were attending University or TAFE.

More overseas born students living in families with a child aged 0-12 years attended TAFE, University or other educational institutions than Australian born students (60% compared to 37%).

Almost 3,200 people in families with children were participating in the labour force. Of them a little more than 5% were unemployed.

There were 500 female and 50 male ‘lone parents’ in families with a child aged 0-12 years, in City of Melbourne.

Almost 60% of female and almost 50% of male, lone parents in families with a child aged 0-12 years, were either unemployed or not in the labour force.

Approximately 44% of employed persons in families with a child aged 0-12 years worked as professionals with a further 18% working as managers.

Around 26% of people in families with a child aged 0-12 years earned incomes of less than $500 per week (highest proportion in the municipality) in Carlton.

6. Impact of Municipal boundary amendment

In July 2008 the City of Melbourne took over the administration of parts of Kensington and North Melbourne that were previously under the City of Moonee Valley. At the request of key project stakeholders this report includes the new areas of Kensington and North Melbourne and their families and children.

The municipal boundary re-alignment increased the usually resident population by 4,750 persons and the Working Population almost 3,000 workers.

It also increased the total number of families with a child aged 0-12 years enumerated in the City by 325 (15%). 160 families with a child aged 0-12 years were counted in Kensington and 165 in North Melbourne. The municipal boundary amendment is likely to have resource implications for family and children’s services in future.

After the municipal boundary amendment the total population enumerated in families with a child aged 0-12 years grew by over 1,200 (17%). There were almost 600 people in families with a child age 0-12 years in Kensington and almost 650 counted in North Melbourne.

In the new areas, the non-English speaking population in families with a child aged 0-12 years increased by 700 or 21%. The most common languages spoken by people in families with a child aged 0-12 years in the new areas of Kensington and North Melbourne were:

Somali (an increase of 220 people or 34.5% almost entirely in North Melbourne);

Arabic (24% increase, or 66 people, the vast majority from North Melbourne);

Vietnamese (28% increase or 83 people, most from North Melbourne); and

Spanish (a 42% increase, or 27 people, mostly from north Melbourne).

The transfer of the new areas of North Melbourne and Kensington increased the number of sole parent households in the City of Melbourne by 100, or 24%.

The largest proportion of families with a child aged 0-12 years, in the new areas of Kensington and North Melbourne, were renting (177, 55% of new families with a child aged 0-12 years or a 3.5% increase in the number of renting families with a child aged 0-12 years in the municipality).

In North Melbourne, employed people in families with a child aged 0-12 years, earned lower incomes than in any other part of the municipality (40% of employed people in a family with a child aged 0-12 years earned less than $500 per week.

For more details about the families and children in the new areas of Kensington and North Melbourne, see the Appendices.



7. Conclusions

In 2006 the City of Melbourne had approximately 40,000 households: 14,000 of them family households. Almost 2,400 of those family households were families with a child aged 0 to 12 years (17% of all families or 6% of households).

There were 33,375 people living in families in the City of Melbourne. Around 8,650 (26% of people living in families or 9.5% of those in households) were living in families with a child aged 0 to 12 years.

Over 60% of City of Melbourne’s families with a child aged 0-12 years lived in Kensington, North Melbourne and Carlton.

The decline in numbers of children (in families with a child aged 0 to 12 years) after the 0-5 year age cohort suggests families with a child aged 0 to 12 years tend to migrate out of the municipality when a child/children reach primary school age.

It has been estimated (using ABS 2006 Census data) that:

approximately 1,500 dependent students live in 1,100 families with a child aged 0-12 years; and

around 1,450 non-dependent children live in 1,200 families with a child aged 0-12 years.

The main birthplaces of overseas born people, living in families with children were China and Somalia. Main non-English languages spoken at home by people in families with children, was Somali.

Overall, a relatively low compared to the multicultural community analyzed in the Multicultural Profile) proportion of people in families with children, who spoke a language other than English, regarded themselves as having high levels of proficiency in English. This could be the result of relatively harsh self analysis or an accurate reflection of their English speaking skills.

One fifth of the City’s families with a child aged 0-12 years were lone parent families – a high proportion. They were most highly concentrated in North Melbourne (largest number in the City), Kensington and Carlton.

In the City of Melbourne, families with a child aged 0-12 years were more likely than other households/families to live in separate houses, or semi-detached, row or terrace dwellings.

Half the City of Melbourne’s families with a child aged 0-12 years rent the dwelling in which they live.

A majority of families with a child aged 0-12 years had internet connections at home in 2006 and in fact the majority of internet connections were broadband connections, which makes the internet a good way of communicating with, promoting to and servicing these families.

There were less than 500 tertiary students living in families with a child aged 0-12 years.

Some 3,170 people in families with children aged 0-12 years were participating in the labour force, of which over 94.5% (around 3,000) were employed.

In the City there were 500 female and 50 (9%) male ‘lone parents’ in families with a child aged 0-12 years.

Approximately 44% of employed persons in families with a child aged 0-12 years worked as professionals with a further 18% working as managers.

Almost 60% of female and almost 50% of male, lone parents in families with a child aged 0-12 years, were either unemployed or not in the labour force.

Some 14% of people in families with a child aged 0-12 years earned incomes of below $500 per week, compared to 5% for people in the municipality overall (highest proportion in the municipality was 26% in Carlton).

7.1.1. Impact of the municipal boundary amendment In July 2008 the City of Melbourne took over the administration of parts of Kensington and North Melbourne that were previously under the City of Moonee Valley. The boundary re-alignment increased the usually resident population by 4,750 usual residents and the Working Population by almost 3,000 workers. The boundary amendment also increased the total number of families with a child aged 0-12 years enumerated in the City by over 300 (15%). Over 600 families with a child aged 0-12 years, each were counted in Kensington and North Melbourne. The municipal boundary amendment is likely to have resource implications for family and children’s services in future.

9. Data issues

9.1. Data preparation and use

The data sourced in this report has been used as follows:

this profile relates to family households and people in a household or family with dependent children aged under 15 years. Data used in the family and children the place where they were on Census Night-7 August 2001-rather than where they usually live). The 2006 Census usual resident population data does not report variables for dwelling/family/household composition because it cannot code back to the usual place of residence of a family/dwelling. This count differs from the usual residents count over 13,000 people;

in this report, tables about persons include all those enumerated in the City of Melbourne on Census night, including those staying in ‘visitor only’ and ‘non-classifiable households’. Visitor only and non-classifiable households were incorporated into the ‘Not Applicable’, category (for the purposes of this report) with group and lone person households (also referred to as non-family households);

tables about people exclude overseas visitors;

country of birth and was used to represent particular communities, derived from the Census question, ‘In which country was the person born?’ The country of birth population total does not include community members who are Australia-born second and later generations. The question on ancestry may provide an indication of the size of the community. However, it is a multi-response variable and therefore the total responses count will not clearly quantify the size of the relevant population;

top20/21 birthplace and ‘language spoken at home’ data was based on top birthplaces and languages in the City of Melbourne;

the following birthplaces were recoded to “United Kingdom’: England, Wales, Scotland, Northern Ireland, Channel Islands; Isle of Man and United Kingdom, nfd;

Household Income has been omitted from analysis, as the focus is on families. Family income is provided instead. This will only differ from household income when multi-family households are included in analysis;

the Profile analysed data based on custom derived suburbs for the City of Melbourne. Some data is provided at that geographic level in the profiles text and the Appendices. The customised suburbs were re-designated small areas and constructed using aggregations of Census Collector Districts to a boundary of ‘best fit’ with official suburb boundaries;



families with children are defined as families in family households, or persons in families, by age of youngest child present on Census night;

Families with children are therefore classified as follows: ‘Age of youngest child: 0-5 years’; ‘Age of youngest child: 6-8; years’; ‘Age of youngest child: 9-12 years’; ‘Age of youngest child: 13-14 years’; ‘Families with no children under 15 years’ and ‘Not applicable’ (non family households, not counted in private dwellings etc.); and

where tables were cross-classified by Age, the following age groups are used: 0-5; 6-8; 9-12; 13-15; 15-24; then 10 year age groups to 75+, at the request of key project stakeholders.

9.1.1. Municipal boundary amendment In July 2008 the City of Melbourne took over the administration of parts of Kensington and North Melbourne that were previously under the City of Moonee Valley. This increased population by more than 4,700 usual residents and added almost 3,000 workers to the Working Population (it also increased the numbers of students we estimate who live or study in the City of Melbourne). This report includes analysis of families and children in the new areas of Kensington and North Melbourne, at the request of key project stakeholders.
