Inequality among women

There is the common misconception that women are less likely to marry and have children because of the fact that many women attend college to pursue their career goal and delay their marriage. However, women who are college graduates are more likely to marry their partner when they have a child; 82 percent of these college females under 30 years old were married by 2008 in comparison to only 30 percent of mothers without a high school diploma. Moreover, since 1970, the percentage of U.S. births born to an woman who was not married increased from 11 percent to 41 percent. I analyze this information as an increasing social and educational gap within women because many of them have children without a father and must find immediate work to take of herself and child. Then, there is this other large group of women who are entering college and are getting married and having a child at a later age. The scary part to this is that both pieces of data are only increasing as time progresses.
