Latin Couples Changing Views on Marriage and Family

  • 1. What are Latin couples like when it comes to marriage now
  • 2.
  • 3. Back then, it was assumed you had married mother and father at home.
  • 4. By 2000 when she became a New York City public-school teacher, she noticed a drastic change.
  • 5.
  • 6. 46 percent of Latino kids are born to unmarried mothers.
  • 7. Births out of wedlock are increasing faster among Latinas than any other ethnic group.
  • 8.
  • 9. This type of changes will affect every aspect of Latino life.
  • 10. As our population grows, it will affect every part of American life.
  • 11.
  • 12. The rate of births out of wedlock rose for all Latinos in the ‘80s and ‘90s.
  • 13. Latinas are working outside home more and attending college at higher rates than ever.
  • 14. This is giving them the economic independence to leave—or never enter—an unhappy marriage.
  • 15.
  • 16. New attitudes among Latin singles men, namely a decline in social pressure to marry a woman they’ve gotten pregnant is a big reason for this also.
  • 17.
  • 18. 14 years ago, when he got the casual girlfriend pregnant, it never occurred to him not to marry her, even though he didn’t love her.
  • 19.
  • 20. Bureau of Labor Statistics figures show that Latino men earn the lowest wage among all men.
  • 21. Latino male and female average wages are the most equal of any ethnic group.
  • 22.
  • 23. There’s no doubt that mothers going it alone face greater challenges, and children often suffer for it.
  • 24. According to statistics from 2004, just under 46 percent of Latino children in single-mom households lived in poverty.
  • 25.
  • 26. Studies also show that children raised in peaceful single-parent homes may be healthier emotionally than those growing up with two parents who argue frequently.
