Family Facts: Social Science Research on Family, Society & Religion
Finding
| This finding compares the relationship of welfare receipt and the probability of marriage in the event of a non-marital pregnancy among Whites and Blacks. In the event that they father a child out of wedlock, white men were 39 percent less likely to marry the baby's mother and black men were 6 percent less likely to marry the baby's mother if they had grown up in families that had received welfare, when compared with peers whose families had not received welfare.
