Women Without College Degrees More Likely to Become Unmarried Baby Mamas

Women Without College Degrees More Likely to Become Unmarried Baby Mamas

According to a recent Northeastern University study, the number of women under the age of 30 having children out of wedlock is the highest it has ever been. In fact, more women are having children outside of the bonds of marriage than within them.

 

Not surprising considering we live in an age where baby-having unmarried celebrities, like Jamie Lynn Spears, are adored by millions and underage baby mamas, like Bristol Palin, are accepted…

 

Unsurprisingly, the largely superfluous study also found that women without college educations are the ones getting knocked up at younger ages.

 

The World Prout Assembly reports:

Most of the mothers are not college-educated. In fact, the story of the American family has split into two widely divergent realities, according to Sara McLanahan, a professor of sociology and public affairs at Princeton University. By and large, she said, college-educated women are marrying later, having babies within a marriage and divorcing less. Their husbands are spending more time with the children.

 

Women without a college degree are doing just the opposite - and in growing numbers.

Uh, oh. You know what that means: the number of uneducated men and women is increasing at an alarming rate, and eventually, the concept of “marriage” will cease to exist altogether, leaving the world to become one giant hedonistic resort.

 

Actually, that kinda sounds a lot like a fraternity party -- on a global scale.

I'm pretty sure Britney was married when she had her babies, you're thinking of her sister - Jamie-Lynn. Posted 09/08/2008 10:24 AMReply
