This bar chart shows the economic status of single parents, listing the options: “Self-employed”, “Looking after the home or family”, “Employed full-time” and “Employed-part time”.
8% of single parent households were self-employed.
Among the most common employment statuses of single parent households were to look after the home or the family (20%), full-time employment (25%) and part-time employment (28%).
The definition of a single parent does not make any distinction between situations where a child has regular contact and/or partly resides with their other parent and a child who solely resides with and is cared for by one parent.
93% of adults in single pensioner households were permanently retired from work
