Want to get out of poverty - then get an education and get married. Marriage and education are becoming the dividing lines of an economically split America. Being raised in a married family reduces a child’s likelihood of living in poverty by over 80%! The higher the education level the lower the likelihood of having a child outside of marriage. In fact for women under 30 having babies as a whole 53% are unwed. For those with a college education 95% of those having babies are married.
