Today, they are Americans under 18 years of age growing up in a country where the majority of their peers live in households that take "Means-tested assistance" from the government.
The Census Bureau published its data on the number and percentage of persons living in households that received means-tested government assistance in its Current Population Survey Detailed Tables for Poverty.
Twenty years ago, in 1998, according to Census Bureau data, only 36.9 percent of Americans under 18 lived in a household receiving means-tested government assistance.
Of these, 56,690,000 - or 29.4 percent - lived in households that received means-tested government assistance.
Among children under 18 in families where a male householder was living without a spouse, 64.1 percent were in households on means-tested government assistance.
Among children under 18 in families where a female householder was living without a spouse, 78.0 percent were in households on means-tested government assistance.
Among children under 6 years of age living in families where a female householder was living without a spouse, 81.8 percent were in households on means-tested assistance.
