I know three French couples with children, and two of them aren’t married, so this map checks out.

Is that a map that shows how many births are registered when parents are not married? Like even if parents just chose not to registre governmental marriage, won’t it end up there too?

Icleandic parents stay single because it’s frowned upon to marry your cousin

Vatican, no data? Yeah I think we all know

Why make a distinction between life births or not, seems unnecessary for the information it seeks to represent

It would be interesting to see the data from Albania and Bosnia, the two European countries with a muslim majority, to compare it with Turkey

Marriage is a religious ceremony. Most younger people aren’t religious so this makes sense

How many of the dead births are outside of marriage?

Why does it say “live” births? As opposed to laying eggs?

In Germany, getting married shortly before a child is born, i.e. during pregnancy, is not uncommon. Not because of religious reasons or anything, but simply German bureaucracy is a big obstacle for unmarried parents…

For some countries this stat is fairly meaningless these days. Being born “out of wedlock” used to come with stigma, used to have negative socioeconomic consequences for the child, but In 2024 in Denmark, e.g., if a couple has a child, it’s not even interesting if the couple is married or not, it doesn’t enter your mind as a relevant bit of info you should know. I myself am 17 years into a relationship and 5 years into fatherhood – no one is interested in our marriage status (we’re unmarried), and neither are we.

Marriage is an outdated custom that was destroyed by the advent of family court and child support/alimony

Iceland has the most incredible acceptance of unmarried parents I have ever witnessed. It is completely socially acceptable to have a baby from a one time hookup at age 20, for example, and co-parent that baby while attending university, and have full social/financial/child support while doing so. There’s so much less shame and stigma than other places I’ve been. And they have way more community support to raise kids than I’ve ever seen in the US/Canada.

Can we not use outdated words like wedlock?
