When looking at the age group of 18 to 24, the difference was less drastic.

In 2018, 29 percent of males were living with their parents. There were consistently more males in this age group living at home than females. The figures for both genders increased overall during this period.

In 2023, the revenue generated from children's books in the United Kingdom amounted to 412 million British pounds. The revenue of children's books generally grew steadily from 2017 onwards, although gains between 2019 and 2021 were small, with the figure rising by only one or two percent year over year. The source suggested that the drop in 2023 could be due to cost-of-living factors as well as the publication cycles of bigger authors and the categories they are published into.

Children’s book access

Children’s access to books in the UK differs according to several factors. For example, children and teens with access to free school meals were the least likely group to be encouraged to read by parents or carers, or to talk about what they were reading with their family. Boys were overall less likely to read than girls, regardless of family income, and only around 18 percent said their friends helped them find things to read, compared to 30 percent of girls. Demographics also affect the likelihood of children having a book of their own at home. Whilst over 80 percent of all children aged five to eight years old owned a book, again, boys of this age were the least likely group to have one.

Getting kids reading

Encouragement from parents, carers, and teachers at a young age could help young children to engage with reading materials, as well as a diverse and relatable selection of books in key areas like the home, the classroom, after-school clubs, and libraries. An awareness of the amount of time spent on screens or on social media, as well as potential reduction of this, could also be worth exploring. Data shows that children and teens aged four to 18 years old in the UK spend more than two hours with TikTok each day – and whilst social media use among young people is now the norm, reduced screen time could help when attempting to encourage kids to engage with books and other reading material.

In 2023, there were about 15.09 million children living with a single mother in the United States, and about 3.05 million children living with a single father.

Marriage and divorce in the United States

Despite popular opinion in the United States that “half of all marriages end in divorce,” the divorce rate in the U.S. has fallen significantly since 1992. The marriage rate, which has also been decreasing since the 1990s, was still higher than the divorce rate in 2021. Half of all marriages may not end in divorce, but it does seem that fewer people are choosing to get married in the first place.

New family structures

In addition to a falling marriage rate, fewer people in the U.S. have children under the age of 18 living in the house in comparison to 1970. Over the past decade, the share of families with children under 18, whether that be married couples or single parents, has stayed mostly steady, although the number of births in the U.S. has also fallen.

In 2022, about 40.26 percent of all family households in the United States had their own children under age 18 living in the household. This is compared to the approximate 50.62 percent of female led households with their own children.

In 2022, about **** million U.S. family households had their own children between three and five years of age living in the household.

The typical American picture of a family with 2.5 kids might not be as relevant as it once was: In 2023, there was an average of 1.94 children under 18 per family in the United States. This is a decrease from 2.33 children under 18 per family in 1960.

Familial structure in the United States

If there’s one thing the United States is known for, it’s diversity. Whether this is diversity in ethnicity, culture, or family structure, there is something for everyone in the U.S. Two-parent households in the U.S. are declining, and the number of families with no children are increasing. The number of families with children has stayed more or less constant since 2000.

Adoptions in the U.S.

Families in the U.S. don’t necessarily consist of parents and their own biological children. In 2021, around 35,940 children were adopted by married couples, and 13,307 children were adopted by single women.
