Never-married mothers face meager support in census report
The Census Bureau report shows 2.6 million never-married women with children under 21 and absent fathers in 1987, up from 2.0 million in 1985. Child support collection averaged 2,710 dollars, about 20 percent of support due, far below the 74 percent rate for divorced or separated women.
