The Joint Economic Committee of Congress has just produced an important new study titled “The Demise of the Happy Two-Parent Home.”

The report exhaustively presents data showing the shocking collapse of marriage and traditional family in America and then explores possible explanations for why it has happened.

 

• In 1962, 71% of women ages 15-44 were married. By 2019, this was down to 42%.

• In 1962, 5% of women ages 30-34 had never been married. By 2019, this was up to 35%.

• In the 1960s, less than 1% of couples living together were not married. Today, it is over 12%.

• And the percentage of births to unmarried women has risen from 5% in 1960 to 40% in 2018.

• In 1970, 85% of children lived with two parents. By 2019, this was down to 70%.

The relevant questions are: Why should the collapse of marriage in the United States concern us? And why is this happening?
