By confronting the critical role that family makeup plays in shaping children’s lives and futures, Kearney offers an assessment of what a decline in marriage means for an economy and a society – and what we must do to change course.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e‘Having two parents who are married to each other, Kearney argues, provides offspring with economic and social advantages.
