The Decline of Marriage

There was a very interesting study on the decline of marriage and rise of new families by the Pew Research Center.

The full report is here:

The survey found a striking differences by generation. In 1960, two-thirds (68%) of all twenty-somethings were married. In 2008, just 26% were. How many of today’s youth will eventually marry is an open question. For now, the survey finds that the young are much more inclined than their elders to view cohabitation without marriage and other new family forms — such as same sex marriage and interracial marriage — in a positive light.
