The Number: 62% - Missing mom and dad

Fewer raised by both parents

Only about 6-in-10 members of the Millennial generation (62%) were raised by both parents -- a smaller share than was the case with older generations. That compares with 71% of Gen Xers, 85% of Boomers and 87% of Silents. Roughly one quarter of Millennials (24%) say their parents were divorced or separated, and 11% say their parents were never married (2% say their parents were widowed and 1% did not answer the question). Still, in weighing their own life priorities, Millennials (like older adults) place parenthood and marriage far above career and financial success. But they aren't rushing to the altar — just 1-in-5 Millennials (21%) are married now.
