There's probably some funky age confounders here--the divorce rate spiked during the 1970s and peaked in the '80s before declining, so the population of divorced people is likely aging relative to genpop.

Higher rates of being single, isn't that related to general increases in women's education, independence, and general disinterest in marriage?
I don't see any sharp breaks in this behavior at all.

I don't think they are, actually. They shot up when all the boomer women got rights through the 1970s and could escape, stayed high for a while, and then started dropping as later generations made better marriage decisions, had therapy, abortions, etc.
We're now down to ~14%.

Considering divorce rates for women peaked in 1980, dropped by 1993 when SMS was invented, and is lower still now, I would hypothesize the author is full of it.

I asked Co-Pilot to pull some stats from me from the Census and NCFMR. I knew what I was looking for and what the info would be, I just wanted to save the time of putting it all together. And I broke it, apparently, because it just stalled out.

It's also worth noting that when women aged 40 and over have a birth, their partners are usually over 40, too. We don't often talk about delayed parenthood among men, but it's definitely happening. 3/3 www.bgsu.edu/ncfmr/resour...

Further, the share of births that occur to unmarried women has been pretty stable, too, for about the past 15 years. 3/ www.bgsu.edu/ncfmr/resour...
