According to the Directorate-General of Budget, Accounting, and Statistics, Taiwan has nearly 500,000 single-parent families, with an average annual income of NT $ 850,000 or so, much lower than the figure for nuclear families (about NT $ 1.2 million), extended families living together (NT $ 1.4 million), and the average for all families in Taiwan (NT $ 1 million plus).
根據行政院主計處「中華民國台灣地區八十八年家庭收支調查報告」，台灣有將近五十萬戶的單親家庭，其年平均所得收入總計八十五萬餘台幣，低於核心家庭（一百二十多萬）、三代同堂（一百四十多萬），及所有家庭收入總平均數的一百餘萬元。
