I am surprised by that rate. I would have thought single motherhood would be far more common in other lands, compared to the US. Maybe my surprise is nothing more than residual conceit of the average American, that our standards of living would without question, be in the top levels, at least in a material sense.
The sense of community is very likely stronger and more flexible in most other countries, compared to the US, partly due to most other countries being more racially and culturally homogenous than here in the state. That, would not be a surprise. I had presumed that formal marriage (vs having a common law spouse) was more common here. Maybe not anymore.
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.
