Single-parent families — and especially mother-only households — are far more likely to live in poverty compared to married-parent households.

Children in poverty are more likely to have physical, mental and behavioral health problems, disrupted brain development, shorter educational trajectories, contact with the child welfare and justice systems, employment challenges in adulthood and more.

Single mothers and single family homes has become a modern day epidemic. A number of factors have fueled the rise in single-parent families. For instance: More people are opting to marry later in life, skip marriage altogether and have kids outside of marriage.
At the same time, marriages have grown more likely to end in divorce.
More than 20% of children born to married couples will experience a divorce by age 9 and more than 50% of kids born to cohabiting couples will experience a parental breakup, according to some estimates.
