[Same-sex cohabitation].
"Little is known about the number of homosexuals [in the Netherlands] in general and about homosexual couples in particular. In the so-called continuous population system information has been collected on all persons in the Netherlands who do not live in a family context. On the basis of a number of assumptions an estimated total of 21.3 thousand couples have been found who may have a homosexual relationship and who are living at the same address. Three out of five of these couples consist of males. Only 2 thousand couples, mostly females, live with one or more children. Half the number of all same-sex couples without children live in the highly urbanised municipalities. These findings correspond with studies on the prevalence of homosexuality." (SUMMARY IN ENG)
