Do you have any source on this? That's an interesting but shocking fact
- lotsofpulp 6y agohttps://www.census.gov/library/visualizations/2020/comm/children-under-18-living-with-one-parent.html https://www.census.gov/library/visualizations/2020/comm/chil... I didn't expect to see similar proportions of children both living only with mother and only with father. In fact, 12 to 17 years of age is 44% only with father versus 36.6% only with mother. Not only do more teens live with their father only, but only 20% live with both parents?
- vincentmarle 6y ago> only 20% live with both parents That's not the correct conclusion, the percentages add up to 100% for both the single mother and single father parent cohort, but it doesn't say anything about kids who are living with both parents.
- lotsofpulp 6y agoOh, yes, I grossly misinterpreted what that meant. It’s “of the children living with one parent, these are how the ages are distributed within mother only and father only households.”
