Council on Contemporary Families issued a report on the type of family raising children. In the 1950s, 65 percent of all children under 15 were being raised in traditional families consisting of the bread-winning father and the stay-at-home mother. That's not the case today; only 22 percent of our children live in what was the traditional family. Here's how the distribution is today:
- 23 percent are being raised by a single mother, only half of whom have ever been married.
- 7 percent live with a parent who cohabits with an unmarried partner.
- 3 percent live with a single father.
- 3 percent live with grandparents, but no parents.
