About 61.6% of men age 15 and over are fathers.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

About 61.6% of men (74.7 million men) age 15 and over are fathers, and of those, 72.2 million men have a biological child, according to a new\u00a0Men\u2019s Fertility and Fatherhood: 2014 report\u00a0<\/a>released June 13 by the U.S. Census Bureau.<\/p>\n

More than one in four men have a biological child under the age of 18. Of the men with biological children under age 18, four out of five live with at least some of those minor children.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

The report comes from the 2014 Survey of Income and Program Participation (SIPP)<\/a>, which is the first Census Bureau survey to ask about the full fertility histories for both men and women.<\/p>\n

This report shows the diversity of men\u2019s fatherhood experiences and examines the relationships between men and the children with whom they live, including their own and their partners\u2019 children, and how those relationships are related to other aspects of men\u2019s lives.<\/p>\n

\u201cFor the first time, we\u2019re able to look at the fertility of men as well as women,\u201d said Lindsay Monte, a demographer in the Fertility and Family Statistics Branch at the Census Bureau. \u201cWhen looking at the full fertility histories of men, we see a depth and complexity to the experiences of fatherhood that we have not been able to see before in our data.\u201d<\/p>\n

Over one-third of men are married and have biological children with their spouse. There are also 2.9 million men (2.4%) who are living with an unmarried partner and have biological children with that partner. Nearly one in ten men have children with more than one person.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhile most fathers live with at least some of their biological children, they also live with a variety of other children,\u201d said Monte. \u201cAbout 4 million men live with 5.6 million minor stepchildren or other children of an unmarried partner.\u201d<\/p>\n

Additionally, about 13 million men live with about 23 million other children ages 0 to 17, including grandchildren, nieces or nephews, minor siblings, and foster children. There are 29.2 million grandfathers, or roughly 24.1% of all men age 15 and over. Of the men who live with their own, or a spouse or partner\u2019s children under age 18, about 1% also live with grandchildren.<\/b><\/p>\n
