The Two‑Parent Privilege by Melissa S. Kearney

How Americans Stopped Getting Married and Started Falling Behind

This insightful book delves into the societal and economic advantages that children from two-parent households experience compared to those from single-parent families. It explores how these disparities contribute to broader social inequalities and examines the role of policy and cultural shifts in shaping family structures. Through a blend of data analysis and personal narratives, the book argues for the importance of supporting diverse family forms while acknowledging the benefits that stable, two-parent environments can provide for children's development and future success.
