Pew Research: Children Of Christians Are About Twice As Likely To Live In Single-Parent Homes

The Christian Post reports:



Christian children around the world are about twice as likely to live in a single-parent home, according to a recent report by the Pew Research Center. In a report released last week by Pew’s Religion & Public Life, the research organization found that 23 percent of children under 18 in the U.S. lived in a single-parent home.

“Single-parent homes are not common in general, with fewer than one-in-ten children around the world living with one parent and no other adults,” noted Pew. “But children from Christian families are about twice as likely as non-Christian children to reside in single-parent households. And the U.S. has the highest rates of children living in single-parent households.
