Families With Children Ages Birth To 8 Where No Available Parent Has An Associate Degree Or Higher By Income Level (2012–2012)

Definition

Neither parent in a married couple or single parent achieved an
associate degree though may have had earned some college credit beyond
a high school diploma/GED.

‘Parent(s)’ are not limited to biological parents.  As described below, ‘parents’ can refer to related householders, foster parents and the unmarried cohabiting partner of a parent, householder or foster parent.

Indicators represent families with at least one child age 0 through 8.

When
children do not live with a parent i.e. not a child of the householder
and not a child in a subfamily, we use characteristics of the
householder and spouse to substitute for parents. These are households
where the child is related to the householder but there is no parent
present in the household.  Relationships to the householder include
stepparent, brother or sister, grandparent, parent-in-law, and other
relative.  In
addition the only households that we included where the child is
potentially not related to the householder are households with foster
children.

Families where unmarried
parents or householders live with a cohabiting partner, the cohabiting
partner’s characteristics are substituted as a spouse’s.

Children
who are unrelated to the householder (aside from foster children as
previously specified) or live in group quarters are excluded from this
analysis.  They include children identified as a roomer or boarder, a housemate or roommate, and other nonrelative.
