Definitions: The share of children under age 18 none of whose
resident parents is in the civilian labor force by children in
foreign-born or US-born families. For children living in a
married-couple family or subfamily, this means that neither
parent is in the labor force. For children living in a single-
parent family or subfamily, this means the resident parent is
not in the labor force. The civilian labor force includes
persons who are employed and those who are unemployed but
looking for work. Children in immigrant families is defined as
children who are themselves foreign-born or reside with at least
one foreign-born parent. Foreign-born is defined as either a
U.S. citizen by naturalization or not a citizen of the U.S.
Native-born is defined as born in the U.S., Puerto Rico, Guam,
the U.S. Virgin Islands, or the Northern Marianas or born abroad
of American parents. The foreign-born status of children not
living with either parent is based solely on the status of the
child and no other household member. Ch
