THURSDAY, MAY 29, 1975 More Local Families Are Headed by Women NEW YORK, MAY 23 In Butts County, as in most other parts of the country, more families are headed by women than ever before. In the absence of husbands, for one reason or another, they have taken over the responsibility of earning a living, maintaining a home and bringing up their children by themselves. In 1970, when the last census was taken, it was found that 355 local families, amounting to 14.5 percent of the total, were headed by women. Since then there has been a general increase throughout the country, according to a sampling survey made by the Department of Commerce. In Butts County, as a result, it is estimated that the proportion is now approxi mately 16.7 percent. Elsewhere in the United States, by way of comparison the average is 12.4 percent. Among the white population it is 9.9 percent and, among the black, 34.0 percent. Expenses Butts Commissioners For The Month of April, 1975 4-1 2777 Employee’s Retirement Sys., Gen.

Ct 212.60 2831 Triangle Gas Station, Tax Assessors ..... 150.29 There are now over 6.6. million families headed by women, 1 million more than in 1970. Why the sudden increase? The Institute of Life Insur ance has an explanation for it. It states that in 1968, for example, being widowed (46 percent were) was the principal reason for women moving into the leadership role. The second was divorce or separation (44 percent). Today, divorce or separa tion has jumped into the lead (50 percent), well ahead of widowhood (37 percent). The number of single women heading families has also increased, going from 10 percent to 30 percent. More and more, as a result, children are being brought up by their mothers alone. The Census Bureau reports that 14 percent of all children in the United States under the age of 18, or 1 out of every 7, are now being raised by their mothers. In Butts County, according to the latest Government figures, 165 of the families with female heads have children under 18 and 72 of those children under age 6. The changes in household composition and family structure are attributed to such factors as changing attitudes toward marriage and toward separation and divorce. Better job oppor tunities for women has also been a factor.
