There may be a correlation between unmarried parents and children doing worse in school. 1970 -> marriage, husband, children. 1990 -> careers, being able to support themselves. Rising divorce rates are due to growing individualisation. Divorce is a reaction that many wives feel from having to do the ‘triple shift’. Married men were more likely to be employed than cohabiting couples and earning 10-20% more. Many people want a lavish wedding but are unable to afford it so would rather cohabit. Social policies such as the Child Support Agency encourages lone-parenthood which damages marriage. Cohabitation is simply delaying marriage and is not the cause for the decline. arranged marriages tend to grow more stable over time while love marriages are more likely to deteriorate. Working-class men and women were less likely to marry.
