Canada: number of single mothers 2020, by age

Families are comprised of: 1) couples (married or common-law, including same-sex couples) living in the same dwelling with or without children, and 2) single parents (male or female) living with one or more children. Persons who are not matched to a family become persons not in census families. They may be living alone, with a family to whom they are related, with a family to whom they are unrelated or with other persons not in census families.
A lone-parent family is a family with only one parent, male or female, and with at least one child. Adapted from Statistics Canada, statcan.gc.ca, 2020. This does not constitute an endorsement by Statistics Canada of this product.
