The following groups of people are defined as homeless in the Finnish Plan: persons sleeping out of doors or in temporary shelters; persons using lodging houses etc. because they have no home of their own; persons in various forms of institutional accommodation because they have no home of their own; released prisoners who do not have a home; persons living temporarily with friends or relations because of the lack of a home; families living separately or in temporary accommodation because they do not have a home; homeless mothers living in a home for unmarried mothers; and unmarried couples that are about to have a child and do no ...[+++]t have a joint home.

Figure 6 shows a certain reciprocity between the level of approval of the fact that women with young children work full time, on the one hand, and the childcare rate of the under threes in childcare facilities and the employment rate of mothers, on the other. DK, FI, SE and SI combine a strong approval rate with high childcare rates and high rates of employed mothers.

Finally, although the full-time employment of young mothers is generally approved of in countries such as Poland and Cyprus, the availability of childcare services still needs to be developed to allow mothers to fulfil their intentions on the labour market.

Compared to the EU average, these countries also have more small children in childcare, a more equal use of childcare services across the income distribution, spend more on family benefits, have shorter than average maternity leave and have more mothers working part-time.
