This week on my journey to define family I came across some interesting things! From 2000 to 2012, according to the US Census, husband-wife households has increase 3.7% but the percent of households with own children has decreased 5.0%. I also thought this finding was interesting single female households without own children had increased 29%. I didn't even know there are households with single moms living without their own children! Also single male households have increased 29%! I also learned that native Hawaiians have the highest same sex partner percentage, while Vermont is the state with the highest same sex couples. Yesterday, I also watched a very interesting documentary about how fertility rate has decreased to a dangerous number, worldwide!
