> This doesn't look like a "moral" problem (family values, yadda yadda). It looks more like a monetary problem. Lower socioeconomic classes have less resource. Less resource means children do worse. Calling Captain Obvious. Presumably, if a father was pulling his economic weight, the mother would marry him. The issue is that a male in a lower socioeconomic class is likely not pulling his own weight due to a lack of jobs. So, if you want more marriage, improve the job prospects for the lower socioeocnomic classes that make up big chunks of the population.
