And for these two reasons, the incidence of poverty among single-parent families is lower in Taiwan than in the West. But from another standpoint, very few of Taiwan's single parents remarry, and after getting a divorce, there are few contacts with the former spouse's parents. These make the personal support given to children of single family homes much smaller here than abroad.
正因為這兩個原因，台灣單親與貧窮家庭的重疊率沒有歐美國家那麼高；但另一方面，台灣單親家長的再婚率低、離婚後與姻親家庭關係多半斷絕，則使得我們單親孩子的人際支持，比外國少了許多。
