The data are overwhelmingly, and they all point in the same direction. Children raised in a single-parent household are, statistically:
- less likely to perform well in school,
- more likely to live in poverty as adults,
- less likely to be physically healthy,
- more likely to compile a criminal record,
- less likely to earn a college degree,
- more likely to suffer emotional disorders,
- less likely to succeed professionally,
- more likely to abuse alcohol or recreational drugs,
- less likely to marry and stay married, and therefore
- more likely to continue the cycle of misery by becoming single parents themselves.
