Cohabitating Families Falling Apart: In Great ...
Contributed by Sermoncentral on Jan 27, 2006 (message contributor)
Cohabitating Families Falling Apart: In Great Britain 75% of all family breakdowns affecting young children now involve unmarried parents, finds new research. An estimated 88,000 children aged under 5 were affected by the separation of their unmarried parents in ‘03, compared with about 31,000 children under 5 whose married parents divorced. According to the ‘01 census, 59% of households with children are married, 11% are co-habiting and 22% are single parent families. Harry Benson, author of the research says, “The evidence is irrefutable. Unmarried parents are 5 times more likely to break up than married parents.” (World Congress of Families: Family Update Online 8/2/05)
