FRAGILE FAMILIES AND THE MARRIAGE AGENDA KARTON...

Many people see government involvement in family policy as a response to popular concerns that
the American family is in a state of crisis. One of the primary concerns with fragile families
(one parent - usually mother) is economic: Poverty rates for single mothers are several times
that of two-parent families. Economic deprivation while growing up has been linked to poor
physical health  reduced intellectual ability and academic achievement. Some social sciences
contend that marriage is the solution to many of the problems associated with single-parent
families. Other experts believe that government programs designed to raise marriage rates may
cause more problems than they solve (i.e. domestic violence  divorce  etc.). The proposed
volume will explore issues related to fragile families from many different perspectives on the
causes and consequences of this issue. This book is divided up into sections covering legal and
theoretical perspectives  causes and consequences of offspring wellbeing  and the aspect of
father's importance to the fragile families.
