Social:Marriage promotion
Marriage promotion is a policy aiming to produce "strong families" for the purposes of social security; as found in 21st-century American maternalism.[1][2]
United States politics
This promotion has its roots in the roots in the 1996 Welfare Reform Act.[3]
Childbirth with marriage is supported along with the marriage promotion as two people can raise a baby better than an unwed mother or father.[4] Marriage was promoted in the 1990s in order to promote family values. Rising divorce rates in the 1980s and 1990s in addition to plummeting marriage rates,[4] however, allowed then U.S. President George W. Bush to pass a nationwide marriage promotion law in the 2000s.
One randomized controlled study reported that the most effective marriage promotion program simply provided assistance for job stability.[5]
