Children of single-parents experience a different range of problems and face several challenges in India. Children of migrant single parent families, are more affected by the socio-economic cultural factors than those who have done so with both. Given this observation, a study has been conducted amongst children of migrant families in the city of Chennai to cross examine the cause and effect for their behavior. The result of the study has clearly confirmed the assumption of a significant difference in the behaviors pattern of the children between these two groups of families.
