Data Analysis Reveals Variations in Two-Parent Households Among Ethnic and Racial Groups

In his book, Carney discovered a striking pattern in the family structure of different ethnic and racial groups. Analyzing data from various sources, he found that only 38% of black children in the US lived with married parents, while the figures were 62% for Hispanic children, 77% for white children, and 88% for Asian American children. This surprising trend held true across different economic situations and education levels, challenging the assumption that economic factors were solely responsible. It's fascinating to note that Asian parents are more likely to be in married parent households, regardless of their economic situation.
