Abstract:
Using a thematic analysis, this study examines the presentation of donor conception in 30 books of fiction written for young adults. Most of the donor-conceived characters in these books live in single mother families, the majority are girls, and most have some kind of status as outsiders. Donor conception is presented differently depending on the type of family in which the teen lives. Children living with single mothers are most often endangered. Children living with lesbian-couple parents are most often marked as outsiders. Among children living with heterosexual-couple parents, donor conception is often presented as a significant issue that can unsettle family dynamics and lead to a search for the donor or donor siblings.

Abstract:
The aim of the article is to consider the formation of reading culture as an important pedagogical problem of today in the context of domestic and global problems of the development of students’ reading literacy, to single out the pedagogical conditions for the formation of the reading culture of an individual. Ukrainian and foreign scientists, teachers, and common people emphasize the crisis of children's reading: children and youth do not have a developed interest in this field of study, there is no motivation to read. This is a global trend. Pedagogical conditions for the formation of the reading culture of an individual are highlighted: from the teacher's point of view, this is high-quality preparation for teaching schoolchildren to read, mastery of a high level of reading culture, reading practice, children's reading circle; students believe that this is the activation of independent reading activity aimed at the development of abilities, interest in literature, improvement of knowledge, reading abilities and skills, active reading activity; parents think that it is the possession of reading culture, interest in reading, desire to ensure that fiction books do not lose their educational role among children, so that the great spiritual potential of fiction does not remain outside their attention, etc.

Abstract:
The article outlines the tasks of working with children in the aspect of forming tolerance in them; the conditions and content-technological support for the education of interpersonal tolerance in preschool children are presented, which we define as a set of content areas and their technological implementation, i.e. methodical toolkit (forms, methods, tools). The conditions that optimize the process of forming a child's tolerant personality are singled out, namely: creation of a tolerant space in the kindergarten; teachers' orientation towards maintaining tolerant relations with children and educating them in the appropriate position; ensuring close cooperation with parents; application of content-technological support in work with children aimed at fostering tolerance. Among the areas of work, we single out the following: formation of knowledge about oneself, surrounding people, about different peoples and nations, rules of behaviour in society, understanding of the equality of all people; development of a positive emotional attitude towards people; formation of socially oriented motivation; formation of humanistic values; education of tolerant behaviour. A number of forms and methods of working with children and with parents are proposed, which, as the most important component of influencing the development of a child's personality, have a significant impact on the formation of tolerance or intolerance towards representatives of society. Subjects of classes are presented, fiction is recommended, interactive games and exercises are offered, games and exercises of a moral and ethical orientation, energy exercises, revealed features of artistic and productive activity, familiarization with the folklore of Ukrainians and decorative and applied art, selected story role-playing, didactic games, the topic of everyday life situations for discussion and dramatization, with an emphasis on the celebration of national holidays, which in general will help an adult in raising a tolerant child's personality, in particular, not only in correcting intolerance, but also in preventing its manifestations.

Abstract:
The presented article considers the peculiarities of extracurricular educational work in rural school conditions. The problem of developing the interests and abilities of students, restoring their strength and strengthening health, meeting the needs for knowledge, communication and practical activities in the process of extracurricular educational work carried out in students’ free time is updated. Emphasis is placed on taking into account the specifics of a general education organization located in rural areas. In this regard, the practicability of involving parents in joint work with children, cooperation between teachers and parents, and providing students with significant independence in the process of extracurricular work (while the teacher uses various forms and methods of education) are argued. The article recommends the wide use of local history material in preparation of educational events. It is argued that the educational effect of the event will be more if the child himself shows personal interest and attention to it, creativity and fiction. Considering rural school, a preschool educational organization and a cultural center as a single center for the cultural life of the village, the authors analyze the difficulties that reduce the effectiveness of extracurricular work in rural school: conducting educational measures of adversarial nature in the absence of parallel classes, poor material and technical support, insufficient equipment of the school with modern equipment, etc. The article emphasizes that the rural teacher should devote a significant place in his work to creating educational situations, focusing on the individual characteristics of students, determining the sequence of actions when including children in socially significant activities and distributing roles taking into account the wishes and capabilities of everyone, which is a prerequisite for improving extracurricular activities in educational organizations in rural areas.

Abstract:
In 1947, a ghastly incident occurred in the Indian Sub-continent known as Partition of India under which two new countries India and Pakistan came into existence. And for these countries the incident proved to be the most atrocious and catastrophic incident in human history due to the occurrence of incessant robbery, kidnapping, rape and murder. Since then, Partition of India has been the most gruesome and ugly past of Indian history which puts the nation to shame whenever remembered or discussed. The partition and the associated bloody riots compelled many creative minds to create literary pieces capturing the inhuman acts of murder and brutal slaughter on both sides. The trauma of partition and agony experienced by the people of Indian Sub-continent found its voice in the literature of Partition written by various writers of India, Pakistan and Bangladesh in different languages. While some creations depicted the massacres during the refugee migration, others concentrated on the aftermath of the partition in terms of difficulties faced by the refugees on both sides of the border. Even now, after more than 75 years of partition, works of fiction and films are made that relate to the events of partition. A few literatures describing the human cost of independence and partition are ‘Train to Pakistan’ by Khushwant Singh, ‘Toba Tek Singh’ by Saadat Hassan Manto, ‘Tamas’ by Bhisham Sahni, and ‘Midnight’s Children’ by Salman Rushdi. The present paper deals with the sensitive story picked from a Punjabi novel ‘Pinjar’ written by Amrita Pritam. Amrita is a prominent writer from Punjab who has provided an avid expression of the lives and experiences of women during Partition in many of her poems and novels. Pinjar is an appalling and petrifying story of a Hindu Girl who is kidnapped by a Muslim young man who marries her. In the course of events the girl again gets a chance to meet her family and re-unite which she is compelled to refuse as her parents denied accepting her saying that she has been defiled by a non-Hindu. The novel, in its flow of narration, unfolds the harrowing journey of innocent females whose whole life is rendered shattered due to a single episode called ‘partition’.

Abstract:
The work is devoted to the payment of child support, determining the mechanism of child support, if one of the parents is abroad;According to Article 8 of the Law "On Child Protection" in Ukraine, every child has the right to a standard of living sufficient to satisfy his or her physical, intellectual, moral, cultural and spiritual, and social development. 51 part 2 of the Constitution of Ukraine and Article 180 of the Family Code of Ukraine (hereinafter - the IC of Ukraine), Parents are obliged to raise children to adulthood. The child must be in a family whose parents voluntarily fulfill their responsibilities for its upbringing.However, the right to custody of children and parental responsibilities are sacred and inviolable. Ensuring a proper standard of living, nutrition and education for children is not always correctly implemented in our country. The obligation of parents to maintain their children arises from a court decision or agreement between parents . Few unscrupulous parents try to avoid the court's liability for alimony payments, resorting to these techniques,For example: avoiding formal employment or getting a minimum wage. Expenses, transfer of property that can be levied, concealment of the Contractor, travel abroad, etc. Non-universal Demographic agreement between parents on the payment of alimony, in recent years, in order to strengthen the protection of children's rights to proper custody, the IC of Ukraine has undergone fundamental changes in the supervision of alimony obligations.Therefore, it is necessary to conduct a scientific analysis of the new legislation. It provides for the obligation of parents to maintain their children. These issues are mainly related to the minimum guaranteed amount of alimony and the recommended minimum amount of alimony, the circumstances listed. The court takes these factors into account when determining the amount of alimony and the amount of income. Alimony payer, which is collected in favor of the child, alimony is indexed.New version of the Law on Enforcement Proceedings of Ukraine Some changes have been made to the procedure for execution of decisions, and the range of measures that affect the executor's alimony payers has been expanded. Enforcement provides alimony through the use of procedural means and methods of coercion to persons who refuse voluntarily perform their alimony duties

Abstract:
This article summarizes a study of special school needs of single-parent children in the seventh and eighth grades and the effectiveness of school policies, programs, and practices in responding to those needs. Principals and single parents were interviewed and surveyed in one midwestern state to determine areas of needed program development. Principals felt that schools were more effective than parents in responding to the needs of these children for stability, social acceptance, parental involvement, and adult attention. While principals felt specific approaches were effective, parents wanted a comprehensive response to their children's complex needs.

Abstract:
Background & aims Anecdotal evidence suggests that individuals with autism spectrum disorder prefer non-fiction books over fiction books. The current study was the first to investigate parent-reports of children with autism spectrum disorder’s fiction and non-fiction book preferences and whether these relate to individual differences in social communication, oral language, and/or reading abilities. Method Children (ages 8–14 years, M = 10.89, SD = 1.17) with autism spectrum disorder diagnoses ( n = 19) and typically developing peers ( n = 21) participated. Children completed standardized measures of social communication, oral language, and reading abilities. Parents reported children’s current favorite book, and from these responses, we coded children’s fiction versus non-fiction book preferences. Main contribution Contrary to anecdotal evidence, children with autism spectrum disorder preferred fiction similar to their typically developing peers. Fiction versus non-fiction book preference was significantly related to social communication abilities across both groups. Children’s oral language and reading abilities were related, as expected, but the evidence for a relationship between social communication and reading comprehension was mixed. Conclusions This study provides preliminary evidence supporting the association of social communication in fiction versus non-fiction book preference, which may be related to children’s comprehension and support the theoretical role of social communication knowledge in narrative/fiction. Implications It should not be assumed that all children with autism spectrum disorder prefer expository/non-fiction or do not read narrative/fiction. Children who prefer non-fiction may need additional social communication knowledge support to improve their understanding of narrative fiction.

Abstract:
AbstractOne way in which information about the unknown is socialized to children is through adult testimony. Sharing false testimony about others with children may foster inaccurate perceptions and may result in prejudicially based divisions amongst children. As part of a larger study, mothers were instructed to read and discuss an illustrated story about Arab-Muslim refugees from Syria with their 6- to 8-year-olds (n = 31). Parent-child discourse during two pages of this book was examined for how mothers used Islam as a talking point. Results indicated that only 50% of mothers and 13% of children shared accurate testimony about Islam. However, while 35% of children admitted uncertainty in their knowledge, only 3% of mothers admitted uncertainty. These results highlight the importance of parents sharing the confidence in their knowledge. If parents teach inaccurate information about other religions, it may create a greater divide between children of different religious backgrounds.

Abstract:
Autistic spectrum disorder (ASD) is a group of developmental disorders characterized by significant challenges in socialization, communication, and behaviour. Unlike many other chronic illnesses, ASD proves to be a difficult disorder for parents to cope with. Nonetheless not many studies have been conducted in the area, particularly focusing on single parents. This study aimed to add to this limited literature by extending the exploration to include experiences of all types of single parents in raising children diagnosed with autism in a South African context, specifically in Pretoria. A semi-structured interview schedule was used to collect data from six purposefully sampled mothers, and thematic analysis was used to analyse the data. The results revealed that participants were unaware of what the diagnosis of ASD meant for their children, and thus took it upon themselves to research and understand. Some of the challenges that single parents have had to face are the financial implications, behavioural problems as well as stigma. The single parents in this study showed resilience, as they were able to use resources that are available to them. Being a single parent to a child diagnosed with ASD has caused parents to adjust their lives to ensure that their child is given the biggest priority.

Abstract:
This paper uses the National Education Longitudinal Study of 1988 (NELS:88) to compare academic achievement of children in two-parent, single mother and single father families. Academic achievement is measured by a math and reading composite score from a standardized achievement test. Ordinary least squares (OLS) regression models are used to test three competing theories of children's academic achievement: economic theory, individualistic perspective of gender and evolutionary parental investment theory. Findings do not support the evolutionary parental investment theory. The economic theory, which states that single fathers are more capable of offering economic resources to their children compared to single mothers, is supported. This economic advantage of children in single father families allows children in this family type to achieve at the same level as (keep up with) children in single mother families. The individual perspective of gender, which states that children in single mother families fare better because women fulfill the caregiver and homemaker roles, is supported by this study. It is also possible that other factors play a role in differing levels of academic achievement between children in different family types.

Abstract:
The number of households headed by single mothers living in poverty exceeds that of all other categories of poverty-stricken households, and poverty impacts the children negatively in various ways. When single mothers choose not to continue their education, they lessen their chances of finding higher paying jobs and raising their families out of poverty. The purpose of this phenomenological study was to better understand why some single mothers decided to continue into higher education. The study considered the decisions of 6 single mothers of young children in Montgomery County, Texas, and the obstacles they overcame while completing their education. The women were recruited from a co parenting workshop using snowball sampling. The inclusion criteria included single mothers of children ages 0-10 years old and who obtained a degree or specialized certificate. The conceptual framework was based on Bandura's concept of self-efficacy and Carspecken's critical theory. Interviews were used with the 6 women to collect data that were then transcribed, compared, coded, and thematically analyzed. Emergent themes included overcoming obstacles, receiving help from others, acting as their children's role models, dealing with the impact of the father's absence, and receiving motivation from their own parents. The social significance of this research is that it illuminates the problem of poverty among single female-headed households and increases the understanding of why some single mothers decide to continue into higher education.

Single parenting has become a part of American society, yet it seems that through stereotyping and shaming these parents are looked down upon. Often times, single parents do not have the same resources as two parent homes, but single parents can still be effective and raise well-rounded children. This is a qualitative study that sought to provide a different perspective of single never-married parents by interviewing their young adult children. This study focused on the experiences of the young adult children and used Family Stress Theory to help understand and capture specific moments in their lives.

AbstractThis chapter sets out to examine how family policies differently affect the poverty rate of single-parent families versus couples with children and also probes whether or not there is a premium—or penalty—for single parents. This is based on a literature review and analysis of a number of comparative family policy data infrastructures. Although single parents were found to benefit from child income support, parental leave, and ECEC, important differences were found. The evidence is strong that child income support as family benefits do in fact lower poverty for all families and especially for single-parent families. On the other hand, ECEC costs in many countries represent a larger share of their household budget compared to dual-earner couples. In countries with low replacement rates during parental leave, the income position of single parents on leave is substantially worse than among dual-earner parents in which one parent is on leave.

Abstract:
AbstractThe Swedish journalist and author Margit Silberstein’s autobiographical memoir, Förintelsens Barn (2021), represents her post-war upbringing in a survivor family. Both parents were Hungarian-speaking Jews from Transylvania, who were the only members of their respective families to survive horrendous persecution and conditions during the war. After the war they immigrated to a small town in Sweden, where Margit and her brother were born. This chapter examines the tensions in Silberstein’s account of her childhood and her relations with her parents, particularly her mother, viewing these tensions as stemming from characteristics of and contradictions between later postmemorial writing and the im/migrant literature of Sweden today, both of which are conditioned by their social contexts, including those of antisemitism. Silberstein’s work brings Holocaust postmemoir into dialogue with im/migrant autobiography in contemporary Sweden, and it suggests that this dialogue will continue to the third generation, Silberstein’s children.

Abstract:
AbstractThe first chapter is of introductory character. I set the aims of my analysis which is based on the in-depth interviews about the reconciliation of parenthood and paid work. The book resolves around the narratives of 53 parents of children aged 0–8 years living in Poland. The interviewed parents differ in terms of social and economic backgrounds, family situation (coupled and single parents, divorced parents, reconstituted families) and place of living (countryside, small, medium and large cities). I describe the research sample and methodological choices I made during my fieldwork. These introductory remarks lead to a summary of the main themes of the book: parenting in the context of the organisation of paid work, care work and domestic work, gender and economic inequalities, as well as the role of the welfare state. This chapter ends by looking ahead through summaries of each of the following five chapters.

Abstract:
AbstractChild support policies aim to ensure separated parents continue to pay for the upkeep of their children until they reach adulthood. This is a laudable aim, often related to alleviating poverty in single parent families following relationship breakdown. There is a long policy history of this in most Western countries, but the institutional and operational challenges are considerable as policies try to keep pace with changes in family relationships, household structures, and gendered patterns of employment and childcare. Tracking changes in parents’ earning and caring responsibilities therefore matter in determining child support liabilities. The question is, how well are child support systems doing in adapting to social changes and norms of gender equality? To answer that, this chapter presents an analysis of the latest data from a comparative study of 15 countries using national informants’ accounts of the key policy principles and operational features of their child support systems.

Abstract:
AbstractA childless woman who lives in a society with pronatalist values can be in a vulnerable position. In 2006, only 1.9% of Lithuanians expressed positive attitudes about childlessness, and 84.6% valued it negatively (Stakuniene and Maslauskaite 2008), signalling the pronatalist tendency of Lithuanian society. However, some studies confirm a shift from traditional to more individualistic familial attitudes (Kanopienė et al. 2015). This chapter investigates the relationship between childless women from two generations in Lithuania and the children of these women’s relatives or friends. The analysis is based on 40 semi-structured qualitative interviews conducted in 2017–2018 with single and coupled women between the ages of 28 and 71 who are voluntarily and involuntarily childless. The women of reproductive age were considering their intentions to have or not have children in the future, and some were going through infertility treatments; women over 50 reflected on permanent childlessness. Most of the interviewed women were involved in taking care of their siblings’ or close relatives’ children during a period in their lives, and in some cases, these women became substitute parents. Only a few women stated that they avoided contact with children in their personal lives.

AbstractThis chapter is devoted to the issue of paid work. Despite analyses dominating today that perceive paid work as an obstacle to parenting, I argue that paid work is an important obligation arising from parenthood. My analysis indicates that becoming a parent has consequences on how individuals perceive paid work. It becomes more important and there is a bigger focus on the level of earnings. Polish parents feel an enormous economic pressures in connection to having children. Yet the attitudes of men and women to paid work are different. In case of men there is a greater pressure to keep paid work and have a decent salary. Whereas women more often perceive paid work as a source of satisfaction. On the one hand, they also feel pressure to be active in the labour market and to bring money home, but on the other hand they confine more attention to the fact that paid work should be satisfactory. What is more, the chapter discusses these gender differences in the context of economic inequalities, as well as differences between the situation of single and coupled parents.

Abstract:
AbstractThe societal changes seen in China since 1978 have created a sharp generational divide. Those born after the 1980s are mostly singletons raised with high life-expectations, both of themselves and from their families. The singletons want freedom of choice and social mobility, but the stiff competition at Chinese universities makes such ambitions unattainable for many. Study abroad is sometimes seen as an alternative gateway to social mobility. This chapter is based on participant observation of, and interviews with, a group of 40 Chinese students in Norway. The fieldwork took place from 2012 to 2014. The research questions concern (a) what motivates their sojourn, (b) their aspirations for the future and (c) how their migration would facilitate this. The findings are that they seek to construct themselves as global citizens able to travel and work anywhere. A Western degree is seen as enabling this. However, as single children, the burden of caring for their parents is theirs alone and a decline in the health of the latter would therefore necessitate an early return. Thus, the opportunities abroad are, by their nature, transitory and liable to be cut short at any time. However, the students believe that they will retain potential mobility, which may be used when their life-circumstances permit.

Abstract:
Abstract Conceptions of motherhood are at the center of acrimonious public controversies raging today around such issues as abortion, surrogate motherhood, child custody, maternity and paternity leave, foster care, and the rights of divorced fathers. These disputes are seldom openly acknowledged as debates over the imperatives of proper mothering; everyone “knows” what a mother is. As a practical achievement for a woman, a job in the material world, a set of relationships, motherhood continues to be hidden behind veils of desire and fantasy. What is needed to penetrate these veils is public recognition and a discussion of motherhood as a varying series of specific practices (carried out today by women, men, biological and fictive parents, heterosexuals and homo sexuals, couples and single people) that are both demanding and socially important. Inserting into public discourse what it really is, concretely, to be a mother to children can clarify some of the hotly contested issues which come up routinely in households, courtrooms, and legislatures.

Abstract:
The pandemic crisis caused the school to fail to carry out its mission without a family. In recent years, family and school are working together more and more. With the shift to teaching the digital divide online it has become a chasm. The family is struggling to discover a new technology, in a new language with a single computer for multiple children and unsafe or non-existent internet access. Today, the educational duties of the school and the parental, in order to bear fruit, the school needs the conscious support and collaboration of the parents. Without them, children are not receptive enough and teachers' work is always compromised. Parents are our main partners in the educational process. An important part of decision-making at school level is the involvement of parents.

Abstract:
В статье рассматривается проблема оказания психолого-педагогической помощи семьям, переживающим длительную психотравмирующую ситуацию в связи с ограничением здоровья ребенка, что сказывается и на его психическом развитии. На примере изучения опыта психолого-педагогического сопровождения инклюзивного образования отдельно взятого образовательного учреждения (гимназии) описывается поэтапная работа педагога-психолога с родителями детей с ОВЗ. Содержание деятельности на диагностическом этапе позволяет определить вектор психологической помощи родителям. На этапе информационной поддержки родителей вооружают необходимыми знаниями об инклюзивном образовании. Логическим продолжением данного этапа является просветительский этап, направленный на просвещение родителей по вопросам особенностей развития детей с ограниченными возможностями здоровья. На следующем этапе родителей привлекают к активному участию в мероприятиях образовательного учреждения. Основной целью практического этапа является вовлечение «особых» детей в мероприятия класса, школы, республики. На аналитическом этапе подводятся итоги, проводится глубокий анализ достигнутого и планируется предстоящая работа в направлении реализации задач инклюзивного образования. The article deals with the problem of providing psychological and pedagogical assistance to families experiencing a long-term traumatic situation due to the limited health of the child, which affects his mental development. Using the example of studying the experience of psychological and pedagogical support for inclusive education of a single educational institution (gymnasium), the step-by-step work of a teacher-psychologist with parents of children with disabilities is described. The content of the activity at the diagnostic stage allows us to determine the vector of psychological assistance to parents. At the stage of information support, parents are equipped with the necessary knowledge about inclusive education. The logical continuation of this stage is the educational stage aimed at educating parents on the development of children with disabilities. At the next stage, parents are involved in active participation in the activities of the educational institution. The main purpose of the practical stage is to involve "special" children in the activities of the classroom, school, republic. At the analytical stage, the results are summarized, an in-depth analysis of what has been achieved is carried out and upcoming work is planned towards the implementation of the tasks of inclusive education.

Abstract:
Washington State began legal cannabis retail sales in 2014. Legalization of adult use cannabis and retail sales may result in more cannabis products in homes and opportunities for accidental exposures among young children. Consumption of cannabis by young children can result in significant adverse health effects. This study examined details of cannabis exposure events involving children under age 12 that were reported to the Washington State Poison Center (WAPC) during January – December 2016. Redacted charts were obtained from the WAPC “Toxicall” database. 50 eligible events were identified. Structured data were used to describe child age and gender and to obtain information about the involved products, route of administration, exposure setting, and clinical effects. Additional information about the exposure event was available in case notes; qualitative methods were used to develop themes and categorize the cases. Most exposure events (62%) were for children ages 0-2, and 26% were for ages 3-5. None of the exposures were reported as intentional. Of those where the source of the product could be determined (N=29) either a parent (n=20, 69%) or grandparent (n=6, 21%) was the most common source. Nearly all (94%) exposures occurred at the patient’s home and involved a single substance (90%). Of those that noted the type (N=13), 85% indicated that the cannabis was obtained for medical purposes. Most exposures were by ingestion (86%), and edibles were the most often reported form (52% of 41 cases with product specified). Nearly all edibles were brownies, cookies, and candies (96%). Baked goods were reported to be both homemade and purchased. Three cases were exposures to cannabidiol (CBD) among children being treated for seizures by their parents: one was the result of a therapeutic error, one an adverse reaction, and one an unintentional exposure. A single child was reported as exposed through breastmilk. Of those with known medical outcomes (N=33), nearly all caused no or minor clinical effects (78%), and nearly all had symptoms for less than 24 hours, most commonly lethargy and drowsiness (50%), but five children were hospitalized for non-critical care and one child with a history of seizures, who was given CBD oil containing THC, required intensive care and intubation. Risk for accidental exposures to cannabis among young children may be increasing as legal cannabis markets become more common. Although most exposures do not cause long-lasting harms, some children can experience significant harm requiring medical intervention. Caregivers of young children are advised to safely store cannabis products in the home so that they are out of reach of children, and to use caution and consult with a healthcare provider about use of cannabis products for medical treatment of a child or adult use while breastfeeding. Clinicians may play a role by screening for household cannabis use among parents and other caregivers, and advising about safe home practices. Continued regulatory approaches to limit exposure, such as limits on THC potency and single-serving packaging designs, may also be useful.

Abstract:
Routine vaccination during childhood is considered to be the single most effective way of controlling many infectious diseases, including measles, polio, diphtheria, pertussis and tetanus, and reducing child mortality and morbidity. However, not all children receive their recommended vaccinations. Different approaches that aim to increase childhood vaccination coverage include health education, monetary incentives for clients, provider oriented interventions, system interventions such as integration, home visits and reminders for parents.

Abstract:
Families in Canada, like those in other high-income countries, have undergone major changes in recentdecades. Women are having fewer children and are less likely to get married, resulting in smaller familyhouseholds and a growing proportion of children being raised by single or cohabiting parents. Divorcerates are declining, indicating that couples who do marry are more likely to stay married. Decisionsabout whether and when to marry or to have children are strongly influenced by ever-changingsocioeconomic factors and cultural values. Certain groups, including immigrants, visible minorities, and Indigenous peoples, follow distinctive patterns of family formation. Geography also shapesfamilies. Quebec and Nunavut stand out with very high cohabitation rates, and fertility is roughly 50% higher in rural than in urban Canada. These profound changes and striking variations have critical implications for the wellbeing of children and their families. Understanding these changes and the diversity in family patterns offers important guidance for developing tailored and effectivesocial policies regarding family, health, education, and housing.

Abstract:
More people than ever are living in cities, and in these cities, more and more people are living alone. Using the example of Vienna, this paper investigates the subjective well-being of single households in the city. Previous research has identified positive and negative aspects of living alone (e.g., increased freedom vs. missing social embeddedness). We compare single households with other household types using data from the Viennese Quality of Life Survey (1995–2018). In our analysis, we consider overall life satisfaction as well as selected dimensions of subjective wellbeing (i.e., housing, financial situation, main activity, family, social contacts, leisure time). Our findings show that the subjective well-being of single households in Vienna is high and quite stable over time. While single households are found to have lower life satisfaction than two-adult households, this result is mainly explained by singles reporting lower satisfaction with family life. Compared to households with children, singles are more satisfied with their financial situation, leisure time and housing, which helps to offset the negative consequences of missing family ties (in particular with regard to single parents).
