“
Knot Yet: The Benefits and Costs of Delayed Marriage in America,” a new report from the National Marriage Project at the University of Virginia, the National Campaign to Prevent Teen and Unplanned Pregnancy, and the RELATE Institute, examines the dramatic increase in the average age at which Americans first marry. One important consequence of this change is that a majority of young adults under 30 now have their first child before they marry. On March 20, the Center on Children and Families at Brookings hosted a discussion to explore the policy and cultural responses that may help reconnect marriage and parenthood.
