The increase of families headed by single parents was one of the most striking changes in the 1980s. By the end of the decade, 28% of the children in the United States lived with a single parent, a percentage doubled that of 1970. Almost one-third of these children lived with a parent who had never married. Many of these parents had given birth as teenagers. Nearly half of all babies delivered by white teenage mothers in the mid-1980s were born out of marriage. For black teenage mothers the figure was 90% Between 1960 and 1985, the proportion of births to unmarried teenage mothers increased from just over 15% to 58%. Divorces and separations accounted for the other single-parent families.
The economic consequences of living in a single-parent household were stunning. It was reported in 1991 that the average income in two-parent families was more than $ 40 000; in homes headed by divorced mothers, around $ 16 000; and in the homes of never-married mothers, under $ 9 000. The never-married mothers were frequently poor before giving birth to children, and figures for 1985 showed that only one in nine received child support payments from the father of the children. About 54 percent of fathers who had divorced their children’s mother and not remarried made child-support payments. For those who had remarried, the figure dropped to 42%. When payments were made, they tended to be very little.
Single-parent homes relied more heavily than others on outside-the-home childcare arrangements, with the children placed in the care of family and friends as schedules permitted. Older children cared for younger ones at earlier ages. More children spent more time at home alone. National surveys indicated that children growing up in a single-parent family were more likely than those raised in two-parent homes to drop out of high school, marry as teenagers, bear children before marrying, and experience unsatisfying marriages themselves. Even though a majority of children from single-parent families did not have these experiences, their prospects for having them were relatively high.
