Permission to reprint the abstract has not been received from the publisher.

This article links single parent households and out of wedlock births to incidents of child abuse. NLSY79 data is cited as establishing that the absence of stable marriages result in problems concerning health, education, drug use, welfare dependency, crime, and job success and that these negative effects are "compounding from generation to generation."
