This article discusses decades of data on the happiness of single parents, showing that single parents generally report lower life satisfaction than partnered parents, though comparisons with single adults without children reveal a more nuanced pattern. The review highlights factors such as income, employment, social support, and childcare infrastructure that relate to well-being among single parents.
