this is about what i would expect from npr
it has nothing to do with welfare starting in the 1960s where you can visibly see a breakup in families by incentivizing divorce, its.... college
- kleiba 3y agoIn contrast to your argument though, Europe has comparatively higher welfare across the board, but the US has the world's highest rate of children living in single-parent households.
- ls612 3y agoIn America single parents get more access to welfare programs than married ones so they are specifically incentivizing divorce. It isn’t a function of the welfare state level in general it’s this disparate incentive.

- uoaei 3y agoIs this just a lazy version of the "welfare queen" argument? By all metrics it's cheaper to be married. Better tax benefits, lower housing and insurance costs when you bundle, etc.

- DiggyJohnson 3y agoObviously this calculus does not include the cost of a divorce.
- bigbillheck 3y agoWelfare doesn't end good marriages, it makes ending bad marriages (more) possible.
- userinanother 3y agoI do kind of wonder about the dads. American dads do more house duties than dads from other countries but Maybe it’s just dads in high economic classes
