A recent report from the Institute for Family Studies (IFS), a conservative think tank, found that the number of children growing up in a two-parent home rose last year to over 70 percent for the first time in nearly 30 years.

In its report, which is based on U.S. Census Bureau data, the think tank, whose mission is to “strengthen marriage and family life, and advance the well-being of children,” found that the proportion of children in two-parent homes in the United States has risen gradually from 67.3 percent in 2005 to 70.4 percent in 2020.
