Here is Steve Cortes:
Good news on the cultural front is rare in 2020s America, so we should gleefully celebrate recent updates from the Census Bureau about the resurgence of two-parent families raising children.
A half-century ago, nearly 90 percent of American children lived with both married parents, but that number cratered from the 1960s onward. The number of children living with a divorced or never-married single parent tripled from only nine percent in 1960 to 28 percent in 2005.
But, suddenly the tide turns.
For the first time since the 1980s, over 70 percent of American kids live with both married parents again. The trend is too small and too new to claim victory, to be sure.
Nonetheless, it represents a positive and very welcome return to traditional structure.
The question from here, how do we strengthen and stabilize those families?
Later in the article Cortes gives “So, here are the four steps to empower families to live on one income again” — here is just the list (in the article he explains each):
- Education Choice
- Financial Incentives
- Trade/Offshoring Protection
- Immigration Control
