Abstract

Rauch was highlighting then what Kearney so effectively illustrates now, that in economic terms a parent's marital status has displaced race and class as a primary driver of child poverty and upward mobility. Imagine you are twelve years old and your public-school teacher asks you and your seventh-grade classmates to stand side by side in a line. In Kearney's final chapter, she warns that "if millions of American children miss out on the benefits that come from a two-parent home and if the family gap continues to widen" then "children will suffer, inequality will continue to widen, and social mobility will erode.".
