The break-up of co-habiting couples leads to severe social problems, a Conservative report has warned.
Half of co-habiting parents split by their child’s fifth birthday, while only one in 12 married couples did, the social justice group report says.
It puts the cost of this family breakdown - in poverty, drug abuse and debt - at £20bn a year.
Iain Duncan Smith’s group, which is shaping Tory policy on poverty, publishes its interim report next week.
The report, Breakdown Britain, will also warn of the collapse of what it calls “the welfare society”, the informal support network within families and communities.
