U.S. has world’s highest rate of children living in single-parent households

Almost a quarter of U.S. children under the age of 18 live with one parent and no other adults (23%), more than three times the share of children around the world who do so (7%). The study, which analyzed how people’s living arrangements differ by religion, also found that U.S. children from Christian and religiously unaffiliated families are about equally likely to live in this type of arrangement.

In comparison, 3% of children in China, 4% of children in Nigeria and 5% of children in India live in single-parent households. In neighboring Canada, the share is 15%.

Very sad

I tried really hard for 4 years...I reached one a little and the other not at all.

We plant seeds in all types of soil, don’t know their effects for years. Thanks for reminding me to keep planting seeds.

One of my missions is to “find the warriors”. Warriors are not easy to find, I would say you are one.

The Democratic Party facilitated all of this. It started with LBJ's Great Society Program back in the '60s.

The Democratic Party has declared war on men.

Hispanic men and Black men will save this country from Harris.

Deep State is very glad to see that its war on the nuclear family is going swimmingly.

[SaxxonWoods]

Many of those aren’t single parent households, they are just single adult households + kid(s). Many don’t qualify as parents.

Low T men and feminism to blame.

[bgill]

Because men have been taught to drop there seed here, there and everywhere without responsibility. Women have been taught to either get the baby ripped to shreds in front of the DNC or let the village raise him/her without responsibility.

[T.B. Yoits]

I am surprised by that rate. I would have thought single motherhood would be far more common in other lands, compared to the US.

People in other countries don't have the luxury of forcing others to pay for their children, unlike in the United States where globalists will run them into $34 trillion in debt to force others to pay for their children.

[Carry_Okie]

This is a catastrophe.

Per plan.

The decline of mores has brought us to being a nation of whores. People who unfortunately were not raised with any sort of moral compass who either have fatherless children being raised, in many cases, in poverty, even homeless shelters, or have abortions. It is a disgrace, even an issue deciding elections in some cases. People want to be able to continue unimpeded their immoral lifestyle, one without commitment to anyone or anything. This does not lead to any lasting or meaningful relationship, of any real worth. Compare this to a lifelong loving relationship, one which will endure through good times and bad. You are being robbed of that, by the value-bereft commie trash replacing traditional influences.

What a horrible shame.

[ProtectOurFreedom]

How does this happen to a country? Enemies without and within attacking us? Too much prosperity? We’ve always had a tiny and subdued commie element here, but the government kept them under control.

We are apparently no longer the U.S. of A.

Rather, we are now the U.S. of F.C.

[elpadre]

And what is the percentage of children born to single mothers and raised without a father figure??? I read sometime ago it was around 70%. Hard to believe until you see the uncontrolled crime in the urban centers and understand that fatherless kids have substituted the “gang” for fathers.

[Cincinnatus.45-70]

You beat me to it. I was going to quote the old coffee commercial, “John Arbuckle says, you get what you pay for.”

[Campion]

End Welfare child support for all mothers who have a living father who should be supporting them.

Make sure you have a DNA test to verify paternity in every case.

And no-fault divorce should exist only if both parties agree. A party committing adultery against the marriage should never, ever be eligible for alimony.

[ConservativeMind]

Agreed!

[Cold Heart]

Let me take Seattle and Portland as examples. The people voted for that Godless mess.

Sodhom and Gomorrah were not destroyed by God because they had bad mayors.

[Organic Panic]

A democrat party success story. Every failure of culture, tradition, goodness, beauty, and society is a success for the democrats

[econjack]

72% of black children are raised with no father present. The fact that the mother gets more welfare when the father is not present encourages father the abandon their kids. The gov’t should pay half what they do now when there’s no father present, and increase it to the present amount when he there. The mothers would now have an economic incentive NOT to keep the father away.

[philman_36]

My point was to emphasize your data, not exclude it, as was done there.
