With regard to civil status of parents, 65.2% cent are married; 22.9% live in a free union; 4.2% are separated, divorced or widowed; and 0.7% are single. "Society’s support of the family concept is important. This in turn gives parents social responsibilities that enable them to fulfill functions of protection, development, cultural transmission and socialization. It implies the need for progress in the design and implementation of a population policy from a perspective that explicitly articulates through a comprehensive approach, different policies and programs of family care", stated the director of Coplade.
