Children raised in single-parent households in the U.S. are far more likely to live in poverty than children with both parents present, according to Census figures released Monday. As a result, far more black and Hispanic children are raised in poverty than white kids.
Bloomberg News Among all children living only with their mother, nearly half — or 45% — live below the poverty line, the Census Bureau said. For those living with just the father, about 21% lived in poverty. By comparison, only about 13% of children with both parents present in the household live below the poverty line.
The latest data, offering a broad snapshot of America’s households, is the latest to show that children of single parents often have a rougher time financially than those with both parents, a scenario encountered far more by blacks and Hispanics than by whites. About 55% of black children and 31% of Hispanic children live with one parent, compared to 20% of white children and 13% of Asian children.

About half of the people are below average.
The Great Society demolished the black family structure and created a permanent dependency class of lifetime Democrat voters.

“About half of the people are below average.”
And Dilbert’s pointy-haired boss was disturbed that 40% of sick leave was taken on Mondays and Fridays.
When 75% of black children are born out of wedlock, and the mother refuses to say who the father is or doesn’t know, Of course they will live in poverty.
Think of that statistic 75% born out of wedlock, and that doesn’t count those aborted. Then we wonder why so many blacks are in our prisons. Then they blame the Whites for their problem.
Ninety % of kids of single moms have idiots for mothers
Dan Quayle was right.
Okay, since the Wall Street Journal failed to define poverty in the context of the referenced article, can somebody please do the job?
Aborted kids weren’t included in the study.
I wonder what the other bad stats related to singlemotherhood are? For example, what are the incarceration rates for children of singlemothers vs. children of twoparentfamilies?
It's not up to the WSJ to define poverty. The Federal gummint does that. I'm sure you'll have no problem Googling it.
it has been known for decades that kids in broken homes have a much higher likelihood of growing up and ending up in poverty.
40% was the number I remember from years ago.
looks like the dems are out doing themselves
Daddy is Fed Govt.

I agree with you. The problem is that the people who run this country no longer care about America as it once was. They want America to be part of the globalized, multicultural new world where national identity is downplayed. They're willing to do this even if it means less financial security and greater exposure to crime for the average American.
You subsidize something, you get more of it. We subsidize single mothers who are poor.
More than 90% of the kids I grew up with lived in what is now called poverty.
But none of us knew it and no one sent a check to us for it either.
If these single moms spent the child support money on the kids, this wouldn’t be the case.
