In the 1980s, more people over age 25 postponed marriage, and many who were already married delayed having children. Out-of-wedlock births, especially among teenage girls, declined in the late 1990s, began to climb in 2006, and the number of one-parent households increased dramatically.The number of two-income families burgeoned, along with the number of adult children who continued to live at home with their parents because of financial difficulties.
