Study: Young men from 'intact' families fare better in life
June 19, 2024
Young men from "non-intact" families without a father are more likely to end up in prison or jail than to graduate from college, according to the findings of a new study from the Institute for Family Studies, a Charlottesville, Virginia-based think tank dedicated to researching marriage, family life and the well-being of children.
"The Family-to-Prison-or-College Pipeline: Married Fathers and Young Men's Transition to Adulthood" -- written by Brad Wilcox, Sam Herrin, Jessie Smith and Wendy Wang -- also notes that young men from intact families are twice as likely to graduate from college than those from non-intact families.
