Table 2.3 reports the share of non-widowed lone parents in receipt of child maintenance. Rates of collection vary enormously, from a low of 22% of lone parents in receipt of child support in the United Kingdom to a high of 95% in Sweden. Broadly speaking, Nordic countries appear to have higher rates of child support payments while collection in Anglo-Saxon countries is relatively poor with a minority of single parents in receipt of support (and Continental Europe lying somewhere between the two). Child maintenance averages between 10 and 13% of national average earnings in most countries, although in Sweden and the Netherlands this proportion is lower (at 8%) while Austria and France collect a higher proportion.
