Glossary Definition
Last Updated: 2006-01-12
Definition:
Statistics Canada defines a lone parent family as a mother or a father, with no spouse or common-law partner present, living in a dwelling with one or more never married sons and/or daughters. The never married sons and/or daughters may be blood, step, or adopted children of any age. Note : this does not necessarily fit our definition of Children.
