Brad Wilcox of the National Marriage Project and Chris Bullivant of the Social Capital Campaign published an op-ed in the Deseret News this week on the growing divide between the family structures of rich and poor Americans.

“Of 18- to 55-year-olds, the share of those who are married from an upper-class background is 60 percent,” they note. “However, this figure falls to 20% for the poor. It is 40% for the working class. Again, what is especially striking about this divide is that it was basically nonexistent in the 1970s.”
