UNWED MOTHERS
Analysts say the increase in out-of-wedlock births result in part from the greater social acceptance of single motherhood. But other studies cite more dismaying factors: the high divorce rate and a shortage of men who earn enough to support a family. As a result many unwed mothers have come to believe that they are better off, in the long run, by relying more on the support of their parents and relatives… than by entering a potentially unstable marriage.
