Single Parent Families and Public Policy: Evidence from High-Income Countries

For decades, single-parent families in the United States have captured the attention of policymakers, political actors, and social reformers. This is understandable: the absence of a second parent in a child’s home – nearly always the father – places families and children at risk of economic insecurity and material hardship.

Policymaking in the U.S. that seeks to help single parent families and children is rarely informed by evidence from other high-income countries and by policy experimentation abroad.  This is a lost opportunity.  This volume brings together thirty researchers from many academic disciplines to assess the well-being of single parent families and children in other countries and in other public policy regimes.
