childbearing decisions  

Définition(s)

  • A marked cultural shift has occurred over the last several decades in attitudes toward marriage, accompanied by a rise in the number of families impacted by divorce and an increase in the number of children born from nonmarital unions. The following trends are of note: the ratio of marriages to divorce in the United States is approximately two to one; youth of divorced parents are more likely than those from continuously married parents to participate in nonmarital cohabitation; and the number of births to unmarried women was at an all-time high at the end of the 20th century.
