Children in Single-Parent Families DEFINITION Children in single-parent families is the percentage of children under age 18 who live in families headed by a person – male or female – without a spouse present in the home. These numbers include "own children," defined as never-married children under age 18 who are related to the family head by birth, marriage, or adoption. SIGNIFICANCE According to the American Community Survey conducted by the U.S. Census Bureau, there were 211,762 children living with one or more of their parents in Rhode Island between 2006 and 2008. Of these, 32% (67,908) were living with an unmarried parent, an increase from 27% in 2000. 1,2 Children living in single-parent families are more likely to live in poverty than children living in twoparent families. Single-parent families have only one potential wage earner, compared with two potential wage earners in a two-parent family. 3 Between 2006 and 2008 in Rhode Island, 80% of children living in poverty were living in single-parent families. Children in single-parent families in Rhode Island were eight times more likely to be living in poverty than those in married-couple families. Between 2006 and 2008 in Rhode Island, 38% of children in single-parent households lived in poverty, compared to 5% of children in married-couple households. 4 The financial barriers facing many single-parent families explain some of the differences in well-being between the children in single-parent households and those in two-parent households. Children who grow up in single-parent families (whether they were due to divorce or the parents never having been married) are at increased risk for low academic achievement and low levels of social and emotional wellbeing. As adults, they earn less income and are more likely to have non-marital births, be depressed, have discordant marriages and to get divorced. Parenting quality is a good predictor of children’s well-being, regardless of whether they grow up with one or two parents. 5 Single-Parent Families 2000 2008 RI 32% 34% US 31% 32% National Rank* 36th New England Rank** 6th *1st is best; 50th is worst **1st is best; 6th is worst Source: Annie E.

Family structure is strongly correlated with economic wellbeing. Married-parent families generally have the highest economic status, followed by cohabiting-parent families and then by single-parent families. Divorces and exits from cohabiting relationships are often associated with declines in economic well-being. Entering marriages or cohabiting relationships (especially with the child’s biological father) is usually associated with increased economic status. 7 ◆ Additional educational attainment in the first few years after a child’s birth can be a pathway to increased economic well-being for some women. Married mothers are the least likely to return to school after a child's birth, followed by cohabiting mothers. Single mothers are the most likely to return to school while their children are young, although divorce or the end of a cohabiting relationship also increases the likelihood that a mother will return to school. 8 32% Asian 48% 6% 7% Native American 50% 11% 10 2010 Rhode Island KIDS COUNT Factbook / Family and Community
