A recent study from Ohio State University has found that the ‘typical American family’ is a thing of the past.
Researchers found that the first decade of this century has seen dramatic changes to family structure in America, with people waiting longer to get married, many choosing to remain single, and a rise in divorce and remarriage rates.
Researchers were particularly troubled by how families are taking increasingly divergent paths.
The state of American families has become increasingly polarized,” said Zhenchao Qian, author of the new study and professor of sociology at The Ohio State University. “Race and ethnicity, education, economics and immigration status are increasingly linked to how well families fare.”
