50% of children born in the United States to women under 30 are born to unwed mothers
July 12, 2008
There was a very informative and important show on July 1, 2008 on On Point dealing with the number of births in the United State to unwed mothers.
Here is a snippet from the On Point web site:
New research finds that more than 50 percent of all births to women under 30 are out of wedlock. Fifty years ago, it was 6 percent.
It's the unintended consequence of big shifts in culture and policy, and it's got long-range implications for the way we live.
The show lasts about 48 minutes and you can listen on line. I highly recommend it.
