I suspect it would be a woman.  Women, not men, physically give birth to the children so there is that factor.   Many women are raising children on their own, some because they choose to, some because it is so easy for the fatehrs to get away with being deadbeat dads, and some because until very recent years the courts very much favored the mom in terms of awarding custody.   Some people believe tht women have more of the "caregiver" characteristic and so are more likely to head single parent households.

Not off the top of my head, but you can check at the U.S. Census Bureau page if you are truly interested: http://www.census.gov/\n\nThe "Population Profile of the United States" contains current information on a wide range of topics including National and state population trends and projections; geographical mobility; school enrollment; educational attainment; postsecondary school financing; households and families; marital status and living arrangements; fertility; child care arrangements; child support; disability; program participation; health insurance; labor force and occupation; money income, poverty; race and ethnicity; and the older populations. See it here: \nhttp://www.census.gov/population/www/pop-profile/profile.html\n\nQuick and easy links to the latest data on racial and ethnic populations in the United States here: http://www.census.gov/pubinfo/www/hotlinks.html

According to the American Legislative Exchange Council's (ALEC) States and Nation Policy Summit in Washington, D.C. The report finds that: It may be Hawaii, see the worst states to try and get help. A lot of reform is going on and with good reason. Too many abusers are taking advantage.\n\nWyoming has reduced its caseload by 73 percent, Wisconsin by 58 percent and Oregon by 52 percent. \n\nNew York reduced its caseload by only 15 percent, California by five percent and Washington D.C. by two percent. \n\nHawaii has actually increased its welfare roles by 36 percent in the last four-and-a-half years.

I seriously doubt there is assistance available for single mothers who want to live on their own.  I do believe there is birth control available for these same people, so they don't exacerbate their own problem with even more dependents.

http://www.statemaster.com/graph/eco_gdp-gross-state-product-current-dollars\n\nhere's a current list from a great resource. You can click on Per Capita tab to get gross state product per capita, which is a better indicator of wealth.\n\nGenerally, gross domestic product refers to independent countries, where gross state product refers to states, whether it's an Australian, Indian or American state.\n\nSo in conclusion, California has, by far, the highest GSP. Although Delaware has the highest GSP per capita, making it the wealthiest state per person.

not an easy answer, I would recommend reading "The Status Seekers" by Vance Packard, or the scaled down version (it is just selections from the book) "American Social Classes in the 1950's", edited by Daniel Horowitz

Basically, in the "olden days," the roles of mother and father/husband and wife we clearly defined. The male was the bread-winner, went to work every day, and made money, while the mother stayed at home and tended to the family and the household. But now, the opportunity for women to have professional careers has changed the structure of families with two working parents. Also, in modernity, it's almost financially impossible for an average, middle-class family to live on one salary: this, combined with the women of today's general desire to be in the work force, has changed the structure of the modern family. Now, all kinds of questions are raised: who will stay home and watch the kids, if both mom AND dad are at work? Should one parent sacrifice their career to stay at home and tend to the kids? If so, is it FAIR that one parent has to sacrifice, while the other can accomplish their dreams? The ultimate struggle of career/family has reached its ultimate peak with the changes that modernity has brought to the households of today.

I could be that 69% of black families are born out of wedlock. 62% of Black families (up from 23% in 1967) are now headed by single women.
