Why should be incentivize marriage, OP?

Dp.  Heard a really good interview with her on npr.  Basically she argues we throw tons of money at school and welfare programs for struggling kids and get very poor outcomes for that money (especially for boys.). If we instead invested in getting and keeping parents married we’d be making a much better investment.

The trick is how do you do that?  And her answer seems to be we need to ensure good paying blue collar jobs for men.  Otherwise women cant/won’t marry them when they get pregnant.

This is like suggesting we undo global capitalism and labor offshoring. Seems a bit wishful and kind of retrogressive, unless you are talking protectionist measures that will drive up costs.

How does she suggest we do the "ensuring" of those jobs?[/quote]

Right? This would require some serious economic policy changes that I don't think rich Republicans would be fans of. Discouraging offshoring? Focusing on high blue collar salaries, which has historically happened due to union advocacy? I'm super pro-labor so im not saying the latter is a bad idea, but it doesn't sound on brand for her.

+1 The vast majority of Republicans didn’t even vote for the infrastructure bill which is the biggest sop to employment for non-college educated men in history.[/quote]
