Overcrowding in Europe
Eastern Europe shows clear signs of overcrowding. A person is considered as living in an overcrowded household if the household does not have at its disposal a minimum number of rooms equal to:
- one room for the household; one room per couple in the household;
- one room for each single person aged 18 or more;
- one room per pair of single people of the same gender between 12 and 17 years of age;
- one room for each single person between 12 and 17 years of age and not included in the previous category;
- one room per pair of children under 12 years of age
