Single-income household
Topic
A single-income household is a domestic living arrangement in which only one member of the household earns a financial income to support the family unit. This economic structure often involves one partner working in the labor force while another manages domestic responsibilities, or it may describe households led by a single parent. While historically common, single-income households have increasingly transitioned toward dual-income models due to shifting economic pressures and changing social dynamics.
