FAMILY TREE
Family structures from the main survey reveal that roughly half of the adult stateless surveyed (47%) are born to a Lebanese
father, yet are not registered in official records. Interestingly, 17% of these Lebanese fathers have a history of statelessness, as they
were themselves naturalized in 1994, showing that the decree ultimately failed in breaking the curse of statelessness.
