That's a backward-looking number though. Look at how fast the lines on your link's graph are dropping, and what that implies the rate might be among the newest cohorts.
- scarface_74 2y agoIs much of that disparity due to economic causes? From my original citation: > Among those ages 25 to 54, 59% of Black adults were unpartnered in 2019. This is higher than the shares among Hispanic (38%), White (33%) and Asian (29%) adults. https://www.pewresearch.org/2023/12/04/wealth-gaps-across-racial-and-ethnic-groups/ https://www.pewresearch.org/2023/12/04/wealth-gaps-across-ra... Many people don’t want to get married until they are financially stable. (On a side note: I had no idea that there was such a disparity between Black weslth and White wealth and I’m Black). Ignoring race, but males aren’t doing as well financially as in the past and they may have something to do with them dating less and getting married less often.
