Abstract
⺠The interface between policy, the family, and educational outcomes is explored. ⺠Literacy scores for students vary by family structure. ⺠Students in single-mother homes fare worst than those in two-parent homes. ⺠Economic resources are a key moderator. ⺠Literacy gaps narrow in countries that favor low-income single-parent families.
