Eight pages are dedicated to families, including child-headed households, orphans, presence - or absence - of fathers, single parents, and teenage pregnancy. Human Development Index trends are tracked back to 1980. The chapter concludes with a new section on refugees and asylum seekers in addition to internal migration data, showing which provinces are gaining and which are losing people.
