"For example, in 1957 the teen birth rate was nearly double what was in 2000."

Is that a misleading statistic?

In 1957 it was the norm to go to work and start a family right after high school (still teens). In 2000 1 in 4 families with children under 18 was headed by a single parent. You are treating these as if they can be interpreted as the same thing.

By 2000 the traditional family model was disappearing. The colleges didn't fill up until the VietNam draft was in full swing, when the age of family start ups had begun to gradually creep into the twenties.
