From the Paper:

"The nature and demographics of divorce have changed to such an extent over the past few decades that the existence of children in fatherless homes has become an epidemic of mass proportions affecting almost half of the children in the United States. The longitudinal effects of divorce have become a consideration among parents, researcher, educators and children alike in the attempt to address all the variables incurred as factors due to divorce rates. Children growing up in single parent homes was only at the rate of 10% in the decade of the 1960's compared to 60% today due to the increase in the divorce rate, the acceptance of unwed mothers and the growing acceptance of cohabitation."
