The Economic Impact on Marriage and Single-Parent Households
This chapter explores the economic shifts that have led to a decrease in marriage rates and an increase in single-parent households, particularly among non-college educated adults. It discusses the challenges faced by individuals outside the college-educated class in terms of marriage and economic struggles, and highlights the financial and time burdens of raising a child alone. The chapter also raises questions about the societal acceptance of having children without being married and the crisis of men in the country.
