US Has Highest % of Kids in Single-Parent Homes; US Percent Is Three Times Above World Average

According to a new study, the U.S. has the world's largest percentage of children living in a single-parent home, the CBN (Christian Broadcast Network) website reports today (December 22, 2019).

The Pew Research Center conducted a study of 130 countries, revealing that 23% of children under the age of 18 live with one parent and no other adult in the U.S.

The percentage for the U.S. is three times higher than the rate of children around the world, which is only 7%.

The study explored how living conditions vary by religion and found that American children from Christian and religiously independent families were likely to live in this type of classification.
