I get figures for the women, who never married, rearing children:
Mother
In the United States,
80.6% of single parents are mothers.
[34][35]Among this percentage of single mothers: 45% of single mothers are currently divorced or separated, 1.7% are widowed,
34% of single mothers never have been married.[36][37]
The prevalence of single mothers as
primary caregiver is a part of traditional parenting trends between mothers and fathers. Cultural definition of a mother's role contributes to the preference of mother as primary caregiver. In addition to their traditional protective and nurturing role, single mothers may have to play the role of family provider as well; since men are the
bread winners of the traditional family, in the absence of the
child support or
social benefits the mother must fulfill this role whilst also providing adequate parentage. Because of this dual role, in the United States, 80% of single mothers are employed of which 50% are full-time workers and 30% are part-time.
[37]Many employed single mothers rely on childcare facilities to care for their children while they are away at work. Linked to the rising prevalence of single parenting is the increasing quality of healthcare, and there have been findings of positive developmental effects with modern childcare. It's not uncommon that the mother will become actively involved with the childcare program as to compensate for leaving her children under the care of others.
[1][38]Working single mothers may also rely on the help from
fictive kin, who provide for the children while the mother is at her job.
[2]
In the United States, 27% of single mothers live below the poverty line,[37]as they lack the financial resources to support their children when the birth father is unresponsive.Many seek assistance through living with another adult, perhaps a relative,
fictive kin, or
significant other, and divorced mothers who remarry have fewer financial struggles than unmarried single mothers, who cannot work for longer periods of time without shirking their child-caring responsibilities. Unmarried mothers are thus more likely to
cohabit with another adult.
[39]
Father[edit]
In the United States today, there are nearly 13.6 million single parents raising over 21 million children.
[40] Single fathers are far less common than single mothers, constituting 16% of single-parent families.
[41]

I don't get the relative figures for single fathers who were never married, with children.
My point is
in the name of equality men are exploiting women in the West, they leave children to be responsibility of the mothers, and the mothers have to become bread-earners as well as the child-carers.
