[quote=Anonymous]People on this thread are saying the women don’t marry the men because they don’t have good jobs but here’s Janet Yellen in 1996 saying the men don’t marry the women because they don’t have to any more. https://www.brookings.edu/articles/an-analysis-of-out-of-wedlock-births-in-the-united-states/ I had a personally illuminating moment about this when a woman I knew tangentially had a baby and dropped out of college. I was dumbfounded that she would do that - she was the first in her family to go. When I saw her with the baby she was filled with love and joy from the baby which is of course great! Basically the pull of being a mother outweighed the prospect of college and career, or she thought she could have both. The dad was…fine? I don’t know if she thought he’d step up or not or just thought he was good enough but they weren’t married. There seems to be a real need for more research into what makes women decide to get pregnant when they do. [/quote]
