By Tara Watson, Simran Kalkat| Brookings Institution@ About one-third of all mothers in the U.S. today are unmarried. On average, single mothers have lower levels of wealth, are more vulnerable to economic shocks, and have more caregiving responsibilities. They are also more likely to experience mental health challenges. Mental health is a key factor in maternal well-being and can have wider impacts on families. For example, poor maternal mental health is associated with worse academic and psychological outcomes for children.
By Elizabeth Link, Tara Watson, Simran Kalkat| Brookings Institution@ Since 2000, the share of children in the U.S. living with at least one grandparent has increased by more than 36%, from 9.3% to 12.7%. By 2019, one in eight children lived with a grandparent. As families balance caregiving practicalities and household costs, the share of multigeneration and skip-generation families has grown significantly while the share of two-parent, parent-only households has declined.
