Haskins, Ron
- Abstract
The article focuses on marriage in the U.S. It offers an overview of changes in family structure between 1970 and 2010 such as married women and living with their children, single women with children, and single mothers who have never married. It discusses effects of changes in family structure on children's development such as nonmarital births and single-parent families. It looks into government policies to reverse the fall in two-parent families and assist single-parent families.
