In 2018, the poverty rate of households with children and two or more adults was almost 11 percent, while the poverty rate of households with children and only one adult was much higher, with around 48 percent. The poverty rate of single-adult households with children peaked in 1997, with around 63 percent, but recent figures indicate a downward trend. In contrast to that, the poverty rate for households with children and more than one adult have remained between ten and slightly below 13 percent since 1991.
