Preferred term
single-parent families and education
Definition
- Increasing rates of divorce and extramarital childbirth have increased the numbers of children in the United States living with a single parent, the vast majority of them with single mothers. These children experience reduced well-being, including weaker educational achievement, such as poorer standardized test scores, and lower educational attainment, with lower rates of high school and college graduation.
