Growing up with a single parent : what hurts, what helps
More than half of all children in the current generation will live in a single-parent family—and they will not fare as well as their peers who live with both parents. Based on four national surveys and drawing on over a decade of research, this book elucidates the connection between family structure and a child’s prospects for success.
