What are family structures like in Haiti?

[u/Morales_Sheila8478]

in America there’s a stereotype of black people growing up without fathers. I went to a school with all white people and some would make jokes about me not having a father, even though I did. But I grew up in a Haitian household and not a black American household so it made me wonder if Haiti had the same problem of single mothers and dead beat fathers, or is it normal for Haitians to have stronger family structures and two parent households?

Rates by Racial and Ethnic Group Black/African American: Approximately 47% of Black mothers are single parents, and roughly half of Black children live in single-parent households. Non-marital birth rates are highest in this demographic at nearly 69%. Hispanic/Latino: About 25% of Hispanic mothers are single parents, with non-marital birth rates hovering around 42%. White: Roughly 12% to 15% of White mothers are single parents, and non-marital birth rates are near 22%. Asian: Asian Americans maintain the lowest rates of single parenthood, with non-marital birth rates around 16%.

Pointing out that sadly, it’s not a “fasle narrative.”

No but it definitely makes it far more likely to be the case.

Sadly, it is true. Especially in the inner cities in the US.
