One of the most striking changes in family structure over the last twenty years has been the increase in single-parent families. In 1970, the number of single-parent families with children under the age of 18 was 3.8 million. By 1990, the number had more than doubled to 9.7 million. For the first time in history, children are more likely to reside in a single-parent family for reasons other than the death of a parent. One in four children are born to an unmarried mother, many of whom are teenagers. Another 40 percent of children under 18 will experience parental breakup.
However, data from another Census source â the 2013 Current Population Survey (CPS) â indicates that 6% of all children are living with a step-parent. One of the largest shifts in family structure is this: 34% of children today are living with an unmarried parentâup from just 9% in 1960, and 19% in 1980.In most cases, these unmarried parents are single.hile debate continues as to whether divorce rates have been rising or falling in recent decades, itâs clear that in the longer term, the share of people who have been previously married is rising, as is remarriage. According to our analysis, today 15% of children are living with two parents who are in a remarriage.
