Housing In housing, the value of non-SNA production per household ranged from 15,500 euros in families with school-age children to around 6,600 euros in the oldest single-person households (Figure 16). In most household types labour accounted for an even greater share of the value of housing production than it did of the value of meal production: in most households the figure was in excess of 50 per cent, for older couples as high as 70 per cent. Among young people living alone, labour accounted for less than one-third. Among single parents and young couples the share of labour was also lower than average. Housing includes home maintenance, including cleaning and maintenance repairs, as well as gardening and yard maintenance. The renovation and construction of houses and dwellings are in turn included in the core national accounts and constitute a significant proportion of SNA household production. However no figures are available on this renovation and construction work in different types of households. In housing, intermediate consumption goods and services account for a larger proportion of production than in other principal functions. This is because the figures here include rents paid, most energy charges and housing costs related to owner-occupied housing (Appendix 3). Therefore figures are higher for young households who often live in rented accommodation. Older small households and families with children, for their part, live more often in owner-occupied housing where cleaning, repairs and gardening and yard maintenance take up more time and drive up the share of labour.

Examples of final consumption products in housing services include hotel and other accommodation, laundry services for home textiles and cut flowers. However it is only rarely that staying at a hotel is a substitute for living at home or a second home. In the principal function of housing, the sum total of final consumption products averaged less than 300 euros in all types of households. It is noteworthy that hotel nights included in package holidays are not taken into account in these calculations. Meals and snacks In providing meals and snacks, the value of production ranged from over 14,200 euros in families with schoolchildren to less than 3,600 euros in single-person households under 45 (Figure 19). As in other principal functions, labour accounted for the bulk (over 60%) of the value of production in meals and snacks. The share of labour was greatest and the share of intermediate consumption goods and services smallest in single-person households and couples over 65 (less than 20%). The share of labour was smallest among young people living alone and couples (45%). Travel and services and intermediate goods and services accounted for almost equally large proportions in this principal function, standing at 18 per cent for older couples and people living alone and for 22 per cent in most other types of households. Figure 19 also shows the value of purchased final consumption products: this allows us to compare the value of ready-to-eat snacks and meals with those produced by the household. In families with children and households under age 45, the value of purchased final consumption products was greater than the value of intermediate goods and services, whereas in other types of households the opposite was true. For young people living alone, the value of final consumption products was one-half of the total provision of meals and snacks and for families with children around 30 per cent. This is probably indicative Figure 19.
