I read a study that showed 97% of people who finished high school and got married before having a child, lived above the poverty line. If you got it out of order in any way, the percentage plummets. Very interesting stats.
Lot of correlation not causation i. There though right?
No, it's absolutely causation. Having a child out of wedlock and dropping out of school CAUSES you to be poor.
Sure but it’s not all causation. The people dumb enough to make that decision aren’t going to make as much money as those who are smart enough not to.
Culture or is it the economic incentive to have children out of wedlock created by additional government support given out per child?
