Many people see government involvement in family policy as a
response to popular concerns that the American family is in a state
of crisis. One of the primary concerns with "fragile" families (one
parent a" usually mother) is economic: Poverty rates for single
mothers are several times that of two-parent families. Economic
deprivation while growing up has been linked to poor physical
health, reduced intellectual ability and academic achievement.
Some social sciences contend that marriage is the solution to
many of the problems associated with single-parent families. Other
experts believe that government programs designed to raise marriage
rates may cause more problems than they solve ( i.e. domestic
violence, divorce, etc.).
The proposed volume will explore issues related to fragile
families from many different perspectives on the causes and
consequences of this issue. This book is divided up into sections
covering legal and theoretical perspectives, causes and
consequences of offspring wellbeing, and the aspect of fathera
(TM)s importance to the "fragile families."
