Notes: The measure of family structure includes biological children only. Table A7 shows comparable data for other child types. A care gap for a task is operationalized as receiving no help with a reported difficulty in the last three months.

Differs from partnered, has no biological children at p < .05.

Differs from unpartnered, has biological children at p < .05.

Differs from unpartnered, has no biological children at p < .05.
