Changing Face of Motherhood
A new study released by the Pew Research Center finds that the demographics of motherhood is changing. Birth statistics compared between 1990 and 2008 show a significant decrease in teenage births and a measurable increase in children being born to women in the 35+ category. Corresponding statistics show that there is an increase in the number of unmarried mothers and the number of mothers college education. These trends were consistent across racial and ethnic groups.
Advancing Economic Security for Unmarried Women
The Center for American Progress examines the economic situation of unmarried American women. Today nearly half of women are unmarried—a transformational societal change from 1960 when only one-third of women were unmarried. And today virtually every woman will spend at least part of her adult life as the sole supporter of herself or her family. With so many women living on their own, it is crucial that lawmakers take seriously unmarried women’s economic security needs.
