PARENTS DID YOU KNOW?

PARENTS, DID YOU KNOW?
If youth adopt these behaviors, in sequence, as a youth, they risk only a 3% chance of living in poverty as adults:
▪Graduate
▪Work full-time
▪Marry before having children
This is called the “Success Sequence”
Following this sequence overwhelming results in poverty prevention regardless of race and socioeconomic privilege.
▪“Only 9% of young men and women from lower-income families who follow the sequence are poor in their late twenties and early thirties compared to 31% who do not follow this sequence.”
▪“Those who marry before having kids are about twice as likely to avoid poverty as those who have a baby first. Additionally, studies have shown that co-habitating couples are 3 times more likely to break up than were married parents.”
▪Bearing children within marriage is associated with a variety of improved physical, social, educational, and economic outcomes.
▪Children living with never married mothers are 143% more likely to be poor than those living with married parents.
