This book investigates the economic trajectory and societal status of single mothers in the United States from 1980 to the present. Authors Matthew McKeever and Nicholas H. Wolfinger utilize longitudinal data to challenge prevailing narratives regarding the causes and consequences of single motherhood. They argue that economic shifts and policy changes have disproportionately impacted this demographic, necessitating a reevaluation of how social safety nets function in modern America.
