Children's Living Arrangements in Unmarried-Mother Families.
Smock, Pamela J.; Manning, Wendy D.
Journal of Family Issues, v18 n5 p526-44 Sep 1997
Explores ramifications of simplifying the complexity of children's living arrangements. Drawing on 1990 census data, shows that over two-fifths of children in single-mother families actually lived in households with other adults present. Claims that inaccurate assessments of household living arrangements masks the extent of a race-ethnic gap in child poverty. (RJM)
