The following four charts demonstrate how the interplay between income and education has served to exacerbate the class divide among America's youth, curtailing opportunities for the poor in the process.WSJ :Even as Americans have become less segregated across racial and religious lines than they were a generation ago, they have grown more segregated along class lines. Americans are much less likely to go to school, live with, or marry people from different socioeconomic backgrounds, Harvard political scientist Robert Putnam says.“More and more young people aren’t meeting across class lines,” said Mr. Putnam, raising troubling questions about the implications for the next generation of Americans.

For college-educated parents, the rate of single-parenthood rose until the early 1990s, when it crested and then declined slightly.
