I could not find any information on how the government treats married stay-at-home parents. <br /><br />However, the data only includes those aged 16-18 so I don't think that it's a major factor one way or the other. As of 2004, 90% of births to teen moms in the UK were out-of-wedlock. Some of those moms may later marry the father of their child, but probably not by age 18.Crimson Wifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03254830856234479999noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4535845931584340826.post-92078250869339431642009-10-15T05:32:25.771-07:002009-10-15T05:32:25.771-07:00Remember that, depending on the definition, Stay-A...Remember that, depending on the definition, Stay-At-Home Mothers are in the "NEET" rate. <br /><br />I'm wondering if one study excluded married women and the other included them.Kirstenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11617762959361017043noreply@blogger.com
