In 2020, about 15.21 million children lived with a single mother in the U.S., compared to about 3.27 million children living with a single father.
One-quarter of parents living in the U.S. children under age 18 live with one percent and no other adults, compared to 7% of children worldwide. There are many types of single-parent families, headed by a biological parent, grandparent, foster or adoptive parent, sibling, or temporary guardian.
Sometimes one parent’s job requires them to travel often or for extended periods, making their partner effectively a single parent at times. Single-parent families are increasingly common in the United States – some start that way, while others come about after divorce, death, or incarceration.
