Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Divorce, separation, and out-of-wedlock births all lead to an increase in single-parent households, where one parent is responsible for raising the children without a partner/spouse. This is the most common type of non-traditional family structure that has seen a rapid increase in the U.S. in recent times. The other options, nuclear family and married couple, refer to traditional family structures with two parents, while extended family and empty nester are not necessarily related to divorce or separation.
