Decline in Marriage Rates Among Gen Z Americans

Marriage rates have decreased by about 65% since 1970, leading to a projection that over one in three Gen Z individuals may never get married. This trend has disproportionately affected working-class and poor Americans, with a majority of children from college-educated families being raised in married parent households, while many children from lower socioeconomic backgrounds are raised in single-parent or cohabiting families.
