View help for Summary
A recent study by Kramer and colleagues explored
income disparity and poverty status between single mothers and fathers. Although
informative, explanatory variables in the analysis were all statistically
significant, perhaps due to the large sample sizes, 219,743 for 1990, 273,463
for 2000, and 59,099 for 2010. The current study used data from the 2011 and
2013 Panel Study of Income Dynamics (N =
1,135). Bivariate analyses showed that taxable income, total income, and
poverty status were higher for single fathers than mothers, while non-work
income was higher for single mothers than fathers, consistent with Kramer and
colleagues. Unlike Kramer et al., an improved model specification showed that only
gender, age, marital status, years of experience, and geographic region had
effects on taxable income, and only gender, marital status, and region had
effects on poverty status. The impact of sample size and choice of predictors should
be considered in the evaluation of income and poverty in single parenthood.
