Altared States Working Paper, The Heritage Foundation, August 26, 2002. Also: http://www.heritage.org/Research/Welfare/ed082602b.cfm Cohort(s): NLSY79 Publisher: The Heritage Foundation Keyword(s): Children, Poverty; Education; Marriage; Parents, Single; Poverty Permission to reprint the abstract has not been received from the publisher. This opinion piece argues in favor of President Bush proposal to fund a program encouraging unwed welfare recipients to marry. The author argues that marriage is more effective than maternal education in lifting children out of poverty, and buttresses the claim with Rector and Johnson's study of NLSY79 data. Specifically, their study finds that children raised by never-married mothers are nine times more likely to live in poverty than children raised by two parents in an intact marriage and that the poverty levels of children raised by never-married mothers remain high even if the mother has a high school or college degree. |
