How does India have such a low number with their high population?

yieldcrv 3y ago
Multigenerational homes and extended family care would not be counted as “single parent” in this study Its more of a “one adult in the house” study

The numbers are percentages, so why would total population matter?

  I interpreted that comment as "Its remarkable that India has a lower total number with so much population," implying that the rate is drastically lower."

On top of the other points, like in many other conservative cultures, much of the population leans towards staying in a bad relationship if already married because divorce is seen as worse than being a dysfunctional family, especially for women.

  Morals have nothing to do with any of this

      No they don't, that's baseless gibberish.

        Generally, we agree that making sacrifices for the good of others is good morals. High rates of having children out of wedlock, and divorce, are caused in significant part by unwillingness to make the sacrifices that would ensure a stable, financially secure home for children. These days, it’s often because men lack morals and are unwilling to sacrifice personal freedom to enter and stay in marriages, to the detriment of children. Divorce has tremendous negative consequences on children. The childhood poverty rate for children of married couples is under 7%. For the children of single parents it’s over 37%. A Stanford study found that children of divorce die five years earlier than children of intact families. See: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4240051/ https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4240051/ (“The best scientific literature to date suggests that, with the exception of parents faced with unresolvable marital violence, children fare better when parents work at maintaining the marriage.”).
