Background

According to the data as of 2020, 1,465,000 children were born into unmarried families, representing a 43.5% increase compared to the previous census 2010.


These types of families often face negative perceptions in the public eye, being deemed invisible and fragmented. Some people still hold the belief that "unmarried parents are immoral," "parents betray the institution of marriage," and "children raised in such families encounter numerous issues." These negative labels result in single-parent families being treated unfairly.


With such a significant number of single-parent families, what can we do to support them?
