In the United States, 77% of children lived with two parents, in 2012, only 64% did. This trend is even more pronounced in racial groups. The proportion of Hispanic children decreased from 75% to 59% in this period. Presently, only one-in-three black children lived with two married parents. Globally, there has been a significant increase in single-parent households.
