What this measures. The share of children under 18 living in a household with exactly one adult reported as their parent, whether birth parent, step-parent or adoptive parent. Other adults may live there too, so a lone parent living with the grandparents still counts. European figures come every year from EU-SILC, an EU household survey that begins in 2005. Earlier figures came from a different survey, and Germany jumps from 17% to 21% where the two meet. So nothing before 2005 is used. Outside Europe the figure comes from the census and appears once a decade. Covers only OECD members, about forty countries. No "better" direction is set, for the same reason as the marriage rate.

Links that hold up
r is how closely two measures rise and fall together across countries, from −1 (opposite) to +1 (in step), where 0 means no link. These pairs are ranked by the link after adjusting for national income, which means comparing countries with the same GDP per person. Each pair passed three checks. The link held after that adjustment. It was unlikely to be chance (q of 0.05 or less), even allowing for countries in the same region being alike and for the many pairs tested. And the two are not just two measures of the same thing. Very small q values are written in short form: 8.0e-5 means 0.000080.
| Measure | Before adjusting | After adjusting | q | Countries | Tracks income? |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Children with one parent and Births outside marriageWhere Children with one parent is higher, Births outside marriage tends to be higher: a moderate link that holds when only countries with similar income are compared. Births outside marriage by country | +0.51 | +0.51 | 0.011 | 38 | independent |
| Children with one parent and Wellbeing scoreWhere Children with one parent is higher, Wellbeing score tends to be higher: a weak link that holds when only countries with similar income are compared. Wellbeing score by country | +0.31 | +0.31 | 0.036 | 38 | high |
| Children with one parent and Interpersonal trustWhere Children with one parent is higher, Interpersonal trust tends to be higher: a weak link that holds when only countries with similar income are compared. Interpersonal trust by country | +0.31 | +0.30 | 0.039 | 38 | high |
Links that don’t count as findings
These go together strongly, but they are built from the same numbers or measure the same thing. So they are bound to match, or their match shows that the measures agree, not something about the world.
| Measure | Before adjusting | After adjusting | q | Countries | Tracks income? |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Children with one parent and Single-parent householdsTwo ways of measuring the same thing, so their agreement tells you about measurement, not about the world. Single-parent households by country | -0.11 | -0.10 | 0.059 | 31 | independent |
Every other pair
Everything else this measure was tested against, apart from the links that hold up and the pairs built from the same numbers. Sorted by the link after adjusting. Search by name; every column sorts. A small adjusted figure is a result too. It says the two do not move together once income is set aside.
