Focusing on the economic ramifications of declining marriage rates, Melissa S. Kearney presents a compelling argument that two-parent households significantly enhance economic stability and opportunities for children. Through extensive research, she illustrates how marriage acts as an economic advantage, particularly for those at the higher socioeconomic level, exacerbating inequalities for others. Kearney emphasizes the need to recognize the importance of family structure in shaping children's futures and advocates for marriage as a potential solution to growing economic disparities.
