Details

The parental conflict indicator is comprised of 2 measures:

  • the proportion of children in couple-parent families living with parents who report relationship distress
  • the proportion of children in separated families who see their non-resident parents regularly

These statistics are published once every 2 years (biennial) in line with the availability of underlying data.
