Two-parent households are on the rise
July 6, 2021
WASHINGTON (SBG) - For the first time in years, the number of two-parent homes hit 70%, according to the U.S. Census. As family structures have changed and become more inclusive, the number of two-parent households has been decreasing over time, but the slight reversal may be tied to a downturn in the economy.
It’s expensive to raise a child. According to the USDA, a middle-income married couple is expected to spend $233,610 to raise a child up to 17 years old. Many parents can’t afford to do it alone.
