▪“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.”

▪Children living with never married mothers are 143% more likely to be poor than those living with married parents.
