Bastards, Worldwide

Bastards, Worldwide Across much of the world, long-standing norms around marriage and family formation are changing. In many countries, having children outside of marriage has become increasingly common, while in others it remains rare.This visualization, via Visual Capitalist's Niccolo Conte, shows countries ranked by the share of children born outside of marriage using the latest available data from the OECD Family Database.Latin America Leads by a Wide MarginColombia leads with 87% of children born outside marriage, followed by Chile, Costa Rica, and Mexico—all above 70%.In much of the region, cohabitation has long been socially accepted and legally recognized, reducing the importance of formal marriage. Historical inequality and lower access to legal institutions have also played a role in shaping these patterns over time.RankCountryChildren born outside marriage (%)1🇨🇴 Colombia87.02🇨🇱 Chile78.13🇨🇷 Costa Rica74.04🇲🇽 Mexico73.75🇮🇸 Iceland69.46🇳🇴 Norway61.27🇧🇬 Bulgaria59.78🇵🇹 Portugal59.59🇫🇷 France58.510🇸🇪 Sweden57.511🇸🇮 Slovenia56.512🇩🇰 Denmark54.713🇪🇪 Estonia53.814🇧🇪 Belgium52.415🇪🇸 Spain50.016🇳🇿 New Zealand48.417🇫🇮 Finland48.418🇬🇧 United Kingdom47.619🇨🇿 Czech Republic47.120🇳🇱 Netherlands42.121🇸🇰 Slovak Republic41.622🇮🇹 Italy40.523🇦🇹 Austria40.024🇺🇸 United States40.025🇦🇺 Australia39.926🇱🇺 Luxembourg39.027🇮🇪 Ireland38.428🇱🇻 Latvia37.329🇷🇴 Romania33.930🇩🇪 Germany33.131🇨🇦 Canada29.032🇵🇱 Poland28.733🇨🇭 Switzerland27.734🇱🇹 Lithuania27.335🇭🇷 Croatia26.136🇭🇺 Hungary24.437🇨🇾 Cyprus21.238🇬🇷 Greece9.739🇮🇱 Israel8.640🇰🇷 Korea4.741🇹🇷 Türkiye3.142🇯🇵 Japan2.4--Dataset Average42.3Nordic Countries Redefine Family NormsSeveral Nordic countries also report high shares of non-marital births, including Iceland (69%), Norway (61%), Sweden (58%), and Denmark (55%).Unlike Latin America, these trends are closely tied to strong welfare states and legal protections for children regardless of parents’ marital status. Cohabiting couples often enjoy rights similar to married ones, making marriage a personal choice rather than an economic necessity.Lower Rates Persist in Asia and the Eastern MediterraneanAt the other end of the spectrum are countries such as Japan (2.4%), Korea (4.7%), Türkiye (3.1%), Israel (8.6%), and Greece (9.7%). In these societies, marriage remains closely linked to childbearing due to cultural expectations, religious traditions, and legal frameworks.Social stigma and limited support for single parents further discourage having children outside of marriage.Anglo and Western European Countries Sit in the MiddleCountries like the United States, the United Kingdom, France, and much of Western Europe fall between these extremes. Around 40% of children in the U.S. are born outside marriage, a similar share to Austria and Italy.If you enjoyed today’s post, check out The World Has Passed Peak Child on Voronoi, the new app from Visual Capitalist.

They did not refer to him as a suspect or person of interest — instead, authorities simply said the person “may have information related to these incidents.”Police have asked residents to remain vigilant after at least nine break-ins were reported in a span of 10 days. Seven of those break-ins were reported in the east end of the city and occurred in close proximity to one another. In five of those cases, residents were home at the time when the break-in happened.Arrests have been made in connection with some of these incidents, according to police, but additional break-ins have occurred since those arrests.Two residential breaking and entering incidents were reported in Ward 6, police added, Residents are not known to have been home at the time of those break-ins.All Somerville residents are being asked to take proactive steps to protect their homes and neighborhoods, including:Always lock your doors and windows, even when you are home.Do not buzz in individuals you do not know in multi-family buildings.Leave lights on when you are away to make your home appear occupied.Consider installing motion-sensor lighting or security cameras.Report any suspicious activity immediately by calling 911.“Your awareness and cooperation are essential in helping keep our community safe,” police said in a public safety advisory posted to the department’s Facebook page. “If you see something, say something.”Further information about these incidents has not been shared, including any details about the arrests made, or what, if anything, has been stolen during these break-ins.This story uses functionality that may not work in our app. Click here to open the story in your web browser.

Study finds disabled New Zealanders use emergency housing 6% more often

People with disabilities are relying on emergency housing, and staying longer in accommodation intended for seven-day stays, because of a lack of accessible, affordable rental properties, a study by researchers from the University of Otago, Wellington—Ōtākou Whakaihu Waka, Pōneke has found. Dr. Chang Yu, a research fellow in the Faculty of Medicine's Department of Public Health, says people with disabilities stayed in emergency housing 6% more often and for 5% longer compared to those without disabilities during the period from 2016 to 2022.

How Rotten Eggs Solved an Exoplanet Mystery

The smell of rotten eggs has solved one of exoplanet science's most persistent mysteries. Astronomers using the James Webb Space Telescope have detected hydrogen sulfide gas in the atmospheres of four massive Jupiter like planets orbiting the star HR 8799, marking the first time this molecule has been identified beyond our Solar System. The discovery settles a long standing debate about whether these enormous worlds are truly planets or failed stars called brown dwarfs because the sulfur had to come from solid matter accreted during planet formation, not gas!

The balloon mission raising the bar for exoplanet science

The atmospheres of exoplanets have been a focal point of the field lately, with the James Webb Space Telescope taking a look at as many as it can manage. But time on the world's most powerful space telescope is valuable, and getting a complete picture of any such atmosphere is difficult without that significant time commitment. So a multidisciplinary team of researchers have come up with an alternative mission that is very specialized at capturing as much information as they can about exoplanet atmospheres, but also with a fraction of the budget of flagship missions like JWST. The mission, known as the EXoplanet Climate Infrared TElescope (EXCITE), has one feature the JWST doesn't though—a gondola.

The Little Moon with a Giant Electromagnetic Punch

Saturn's tiny moon Enceladus, famous for its water geysers, has been revealed as a giant electromagnetic powerhouse whose influence extends over half a million kilometres through the ringed planet's magnetosphere. Analysis of 13 years of Cassini data shows the 500 kilometre wide moon creates a lattice like structure of crisscrossing electromagnetic waves known as Alfvén wings, that bounce between Saturn's ionosphere and the plasma torus surrounding Enceladus's orbit, reaching distances 2,000 times the moon's own radius. It changes our understanding of how small icy moons can influence their giant planetary hosts, with implications for the moons of Jupiter and perhaps even distant exoplanetary systems.

Earth's Radiation Fingerprint

Scientists have discovered a revolutionary way to measure Earth's radiation budget by observing our planet from the Moon. A team of astronomers have revealed that lunar observations capture Earth as a complete disk, filtering out local weather noise and revealing planet scale radiation patterns dominated by spherical harmonic functions, effectively creating a unique "fingerprint" of Earth's outgoing radiation. This Moon based perspective solves fundamental limitations of satellite observations, which struggle to achieve both temporal continuity and spatial consistency, offering a new tool for understanding global climate change with unprecedented clarity.
