Great question. If married/college were the only relevant factors, it would not matter. However, there are cultural differences beyond just those.
Black women in the US do go to college at approximately the same rate as the rest of the US population, however they are far less likely to study STEM subjects, nor go to graduate school school, and are more likely to be going to a lower tier of school.
Also, even college educated black women are far less likely to be married or in long term relationships.
- bilbo0s 8y ago??? But the charts are not counting women who have college degrees AND are married. The chart is a count of women who have college degrees and had their first child. So whether or not a college educated black or hispanic woman is married, is totally irrelevant to that question. I'm starting to think that, perhaps, you have misread the graphs? These are not graphs of women who are college educated AND married. These are graphs of women who are college educated. And then there is another set of graphs for women who are married. With both factors isolated to get a true picture of what's going on.
- danielvf 8y agoYou are correct, I was misreading the graphs - I'll have to rethink things!
