Scottish Household Survey -Data Comic 2020

I’m a single parent, how have things changed for people like me over the 20 years? The data shows us that in 2019 there were more single parents in employment than 20 years ago, and many of them are managing better financially too. In 1999 42% of single parents looked after the home or family - in 2019 20% did. Have the types of homes single parent families live in changed? Yes Emma - more single parent families live in privately rented homes than they used to, and less live in socially rented homes. So! To sum up, there’s more single parents in work, many of them manage better financially, and more live in privately rented homes. It should be noted that 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.
