1.3 parenting rate: extrapolation based on Champsaur, P., et al. (2002), L’Histoire familiale des hommes détenus, Paris : INSEE. The study found a parenting rate of 1.3 among male prisoners in France. The above estimated number of children separated from an imprisoned father has been calculated through the multiplication of male prisoners per country by the parenting rate, 1.3.
