According to William Julius Wilson, how do factors such as deindustrialization, globalization, suburbanization, and discrimination contribute to high rates of welfare-dependent, single-mother families?
a.) Such factors mean that many poor people travel further from their communities to find jobs, which creates tensions and stress that often destroy marriages and lead to men abandoning their families. b.) Such factors have contributed to a net shrinkage of the pool of employed, unincarcerated men, thus greatly limiting women's opportunity to find a stable life partner. c.) Such factors mean that low-income workers must take on two or more jobs to earn a living wage, which means that they spend all their time working and no longer participate in the community where they would be most likely to find a spouse. d.) Such factors have led to a decline in marriage rates for young men under thirty because they cannot afford to move out of their parents' house, which makes it more difficult to find a stable life partner.
