Single parenthood has risen dramatically in the United States over time. Today, 34% of all children live in a single parent household, up from 9% in 1960. There are regrettable negative consequences of these statistics, as The Bulwark’s Mona Charen notes: “[C]hildren in mother-only homes are five times more likely to live in poverty than children with two parents. And children in father-only homes were twice as likely to be poor as those in married-couple homes. Poverty is not conducive to thriving, but even for kids who are not poor, those who grow up with only one parent fare worse than others on everything from school to work to trouble with the law. And the consequences of fatherlessness are more dire for boys than girls. Boys raised without fathers and/or without good adult male influences in their lives are less likely to attend college, be employed as adults, or remain drug-free.” And as the Manhattan Institute’s Kay Hymowitz writes: “Kids in single-parent homes have lower educational achievement, commit more crime, and suffer more emotional problems, even when controlling for parental income and education. Not only do young men and women from intact families (regardless of race and ethnicity) get more education and earn higher earnings than those raised with single mothers; they also do better than children who have a stepparent at home. Children growing up in an area where single-parent families are the norm have less of a chance of upward mobility than a child who lives where married-couple families dominate (regardless of whether that child lives with a single parent or with married parents). The evidence that the prevalence of single-parent households poses risks to individual children and communities goes on and on.” There are large variations in single parenthood rates by race/ethnicity, with 63% of Black children, 50% of Indigenous children, 42% of Latino children, 24% of non-Hispanic White children, and 16% of Asian American children living in single parent households. University of Maryland economist Melissa Kearney has published important research on how family structure impacts American children, including her new book, The Two Parent Privilege: How Americans Stopped Getting Married and Started Falling Behind: “The most recent research, much of which incorporates advanced statistical techniques, continues to show that children who are raised in single-mother households tend to have lower levels of completed education and lower levels of income as adults, even after statistically accounting for observable demographic characteristics (for example, where the family lives or the mother’s level of education)” (p. 52). In Table 1, Kearney shows how children of single parents differ in their life chances compared with children of married parents. For children of college-educated mothers, for instance, 57.0% have a college degree by age 25 if their mother was married, but only 28.6% of those raised with a college educated single mother. In Figure 1 you can see, as Mona Charen alluded to, the strong correlation between the dominant family structure in a neighborhood and the upward mobility rate of children raised there. Even for children who themselves are raised in married parent households, they are statistically more likely to struggle in adulthood if they are raised in a community where there is widespread single parenthood. If you want to dive deeper into this subject, this paper from the Connors Institute has got you covered. Table 2 shows the large variations in poverty rates between American families with different structures. Taken together, all of these data strongly suggest that parents really matter. We discuss rising single parenthood and its consequences for children on the most recent episode of the Utterly Moderate Podcast. Joining us in this discussion is Kay Hymowitz, a research fellow at the Manhattan Institute and a contributing editor of City Journal. She writes not only on family issues and childhood, but also poverty and cultural change in America. Hymowitz is the author of the books The New Brooklyn: What It Takes to Bring a City Back (2017), Manning Up: How the Rise of Women Has Turned Men into Boys (2011), Marriage and Caste in America: Separate and Unequal Families in a Post-Marital Age (2006), and Liberation’s Children: Parents and Kids in a Postmodern Age (2004), among others.

Campus protests and May graduations have highlighted concerns over public school curricula at Parents' Rights In Education. The scrutiny includes perceptions of male/female roles and the overselling of women being able to do everything, while boys can be girls.Two articles inspired this commentary. The first is a commencement address by Harrison Butker at Benedictine College, which emphasized traditional roles for women and the importance of motherhood over career ambitions. Butker's speech suggested that women have been misled about their roles, with his wife, Isabelle, exemplifying fulfillment in her vocation as a homemaker and primary educator of their children. However, he overlooked key realities such as infertility, the importance of a "Plan B," and the possibility of balancing careers and family.The 1970s feminist movement aimed to pass the Equal Rights Amendment (ERA) for women's equal protection under the law. Though it passed the House and Senate, it failed to gain enough state ratifications due to fears of unintended consequences. Today, individual states have adopted similar policies, leading to ongoing debates about gender roles and parental rights.Butker's success and ability to support his family are commendable, but his views miss important points about modern realities. Homemaking is not a formal vocation, careers can wait, and technology offers new income options. The new feminist dynamic has created a Gender Gap, as highlighted by Kay Hymowitz in City Journal. Young women are increasingly left-leaning, creating a significant political divide. Mistrust between young men and women is growing, as seen globally, with high expectations from women not yet met by society.Dating and marriage norms have shifted, with women often discriminating against men from opposing political parties. This dynamic raises concerns about the future of relationships and the responsibilities of raising children. Government schools must represent community values, promoting the importance of two-parent families for the stability of US culture.The commentary concludes by questioning what values local schools are teaching and advocating for the representation of traditional family structures to provide security, love, leadership, and guidance for children, roles that the government cannot fulfill.Butker AddressGen Z's Gender StalemateSupport the Show.DONATE TODAY!www.ParentsRightsInEducation.com

Hey Sandman, I think my journey to becoming a MGTOW began a couple of years after my divorce was final. At the time I didn't know about the MGTOW movement, but had already given up on the idea of traditional marriage. I had been treated so poorly by my ex-wife both during and after my marriage, and was treated so unfairly by the divorce court system, that I decide that marriage was NOT for me. It was just too risky for my emotional, physical, spiritual, and financial health. In a sense it is too late for me, but listening and reading MGTOW content has answered A LOT of lingering questions I had about the "whys and Hows" of my painful experiences with women. I thought I was alone in my adverse view of marriage until I heard about the "Marriage Strike." It was surprising to hear the stories of SO many other men who have also have been put through the meat grinder of marriage, divorce, and “family” court. I think that the younger generation of men are more emotionally aware and confident- much less susceptible to the shaming tactics many of us older guys fell victim too. As a result, you see young men today ditching marriage and the "American Dream " in droves. Here's a quote from Dr. Helen Smith's book "Men on Strike" - “It's no wonder that fewer and fewer men are getting married now than in the past. Kay Hymowitz states in her book, Manning Up, that “in 1970, 80 percent of 25-to 29-year-old men were married; in 2007, only about 40 percent of them were. In 1970, 85 percent of 30- to 34-year-old men were married; in 2007, only 60 percent of them were.” After reading that here's my question: Do you think this Marriage Strike will continue for much longer? If so, what would say the most significant social and economic impacts to western society would be if this trend continues? Well, thanks for your comments and questions Soul Journer.Sexodus pt 2.

Description: Starting in the late 20th century, Scandinavian countries began opening up parental leave for fathers, with Norway eventually establishing at least four weeks of parental leave for fathers alone. This approach has now caught on throughout the post-industrialized world. How have these policies affected family bonding and the well-being of children? In this episode, Naomi and Ian are joined by https://www.manhattan-institute.org/expert/kay-s-hymowitz (Kay Hymowitz), the William E. Simon Fellow at the Manhattan Institute and a contributing editor of City Journal. Kay explains that the goal of these policies was to create more gender equality by allowing women a quicker return to the workforce. In reality, mothers remained taking care of the children, and the attempt to re-order gender relations has only confirmed the existence of the natural differences between mothers and fathers.

Description: For decades, women have increasingly outnumbered men in higher education and the problem is getting worse. Men—generally speaking—prefer to work rather than go to school. Yet more traditional, blue-collar jobs now require advanced degrees. In this episode, Naomi and Ian are joined by https://www.manhattan-institute.org/expert/kay-s-hymowitz (Kay Hymowitz), the William E. Simon Fellow at the Manhattan Institute and a contributing editor of City Journal. Kay explains how this trend has not been considered problematic because society is used to thinking about furthering the progress of girls in higher education. She outlines how “degree inflation” is turning into a big problem for young men. To encourage more boys to stay in school and get the skills they need, she suggests that K-12 education should provide career pathways for those not wanting to attend college, and that they build in more time for recess.

Kay Hymowitz joins Brian Anderson to discuss how our social instincts, and especially our social networks, affect our behavior and choices, in areas as wide-ranging as divorce, obesity—and even rioting. Humans are social animals, as the saying goes. Our social nature, Hymowitz writes in her new story, "The Human Network," makes nearly everything contagious, from viruses to behaviors. For example, new research suggests that people can, in effect, "catch" divorce from their friends or extended family. But while network science can be a useful tool for understanding human action, it cannot explain why some are more susceptible to social pressure than others.

Kay Hymowitz joins Mark to discuss the loneliness epidemic in America.
Kay Hymowitz joins City Journal editor Brian Anderson to discuss a challenge facing aging populations in wealthy nations across the world: loneliness. Her essay in the Spring 2019 issue, "Alone," explores this subject. "Americans are suffering from a bad case of loneliness," Hymowitz writes. "Foundering social trust, collapsing heartland communities, an opioid epidemic, and rising numbers of 'deaths of despair' suggest a profound, collective discontent." Evidence of the loneliness epidemic is dramatic in other countries, too. Japan, for example, has seen a troubling rise in "lonely deaths." The challenge, Hymowitz says, is to teach younger generations the importance of family and community before they make decisions that will further isolate them.

The contemporary western feminist movement has lost its way. Over the past century the feminist movement has achieved remarkable advances in securing equal rights for women in the West, but in other regions around the world women are still treated as second class citizens, the recent push for gender-equal traffic lights in Melbourne has trivialised the important issue of gender equality. Rather than fake feminist causes, how should we address the real obstacles to women's freedom and opportunities in Australia and around the world? Visiting US expert Kay Hymowitz from New York's Manhattan Institute and Judith Sloane, economist and contributing economics editor at The Australian discussed why the sisterhood is failing women on many vital political, social and cultural issues. ____________________ The Centre for Independent Studies (CIS) promotes free choice and individual liberty, and defends cultural freedom and the open exchange of ideas.

Most explanations offered for Donald Trump's ‘inexplicable' victory in the American Presidential election have resorted to crude stereotypes about the opinions and attitudes of the ‘Deplorables' – the AKA ‘low information voters' who voted #1 for Trump. These explanations – which are offered by the same kinds of ‘insiders' who probably thought the NSW Greyhound Racing Ban was a great idea (until it helped end the political career of a hitherto popular Premier) – simply serve to widen gap of mutual disdain and misunderstanding between the political class and ordinary citizens. Kay Hymowitz gave a speech at CIS to share her insights on this matter. ____________________ The Centre for Independent Studies (CIS) promotes free choice and individual liberty, and defends cultural freedom and the open exchange of ideas.

In his inaugural address, Donald Trump gave a grim description of American cities, speaking of "carnage" and "rusted out factories.” But the reality is far different in many urban centers. Our guest is Kay Hymowitz of The Manhattan Institute, author of "The New Brooklyn: What It Takes To Bring a City Back." Kay has lived in Park Slope, Brooklyn since 1981. She gives a first-hand account of Brooklyn's transformation from high crime and deindustrialization in the 60's, 70's and 80's to the borough's comeback in the last two decades. Kay says, “Brooklyn, which was once a major factory town, peaked in 1950—in terms of manufacturing power. In recent decades we've seen a rise of "a different kind of economy." Before the hipsters and tech startups, there was an expansion in government, healthcare and legal jobs. From education, tech innovation and new forms of business to public transportation and rezoning, this show looks at how the new Brooklyn took shape and how this story can help other cities.

It is oddly controversial to identify the breakdown of the family unit as a central cause of poverty. The empirical evidence confirming a strong correlation is overwhelming: higher divorce rates, increasing out-of-wedlock births, lower percentages of married couples, and higher rates of abortion are all associated with poverty. How has the law impacted these trends, and what can be done to reverse them? -- This panel was presented at the 2016 National Student Symposium on Saturday, February 27, 2016, at the University of Virginia School of Law. -- Featuring: Prof. Mary Anne Case, Arnold I. Shure Professor of Law, University of Chicago Law School; Ms. Kay Hymowitz, Senior Fellow, The Manhattan Institute; Prof. W.

Cultural Director Charlotte Hays sits down with Kay Hymowitz to preview IWF's important May 13 panel on the future of marriage--if there is a future, and the profound ramifications if marriage is no longer the norm. Hymowitz is one of the foremost thinkers on marriage and author of Marriage and Caste in America: Separate and Unequal Families in a Post-Marital Age.
While we’ve been focusing on the rise of women in the workplace, we have failed to notice the dramatic effect this has had on young men. Are we witnessing a male culture in profound decline? Young women are making more money, getting more education and are more reluctant to have children and settle down, while young men are drifting in ‘pre-adulthood’. Women want to win at work and expect equality at home, which doesn’t leave much room for the traditional male breadwinner role. Until young men create viable alternatives, this gender mismatch is a recipe for unhappiness. Maybe it’s time to man up?Kay Hymowitz is an American writer, researcher, and is the William E. Simon Fellow at the Manhattan Institute for Policy Research. She is the author of four books, including Manning Up: How the Rise of Women Has Turned Men Into Boys.Kay Hymowitz appears with the support of The Centre for Independent Studies.
For the past forty years there’s been a concerted effort to deny the growing evidence that marriage matters. Families with married parents are more likely to provide stable homes for children. Children in single parent families are less likely to thrive than those with two parents, particularly married parents. Family structure is one of the key factors in predicting the future lives of our children, yet most are still determined to ignore what they see as a most unpalatable truth. For all the talk about gay marriage, these are the marriage patterns that have most impact on our society, and if we take the future of children seriously, it’s time to put this back on the agenda. Bettina Arndt was formerly a clinical psychologist and one of Australia’s first sex therapist.
