London, Aug 28 : One in seven children in Britain -- almost 1.8million -- now live in totally work-free households, the majority with a single parent, according to the Office for National Statistics (ONS).

There has been barely any reduction in the number of households where all adults are out of full-time work in the past five years, the figures show, The Telegraph reported.

Using the Labour Force Survey of employment, researchers found that 15.8 per cent of all households in Britain that contain at least one person of working age had no one in full-time employment. It means that there is complete unemployment in a total of 3.06m families in which someone should be able to work.
