Por qué tantos padres latinoamericanos abandonan a sus hijos

Latin America is the region of the world with the most single-parent households. In Colombia, four out of ten children live only with their mother. In Mexico, three out of ten. And in many cases, the father is not only absent but also fails to pay child support. Meanwhile, mothers work double shifts, both inside and outside the home, to support their families. In this episode of How It Affects You, we explore why there are so many absent fathers in the region, what the consequences are for children, and what some countries are doing to address this silent crisis.
