Excerpt -- "On the one hand, judging from the booming economic progress in highly single countries such as Singapore and Taiwan, singletons can work longer hours and move more easily for jobs. Which would make a single society good for the economy. (At least in the short term, until the entitlement systems break because there aren’t enough new taxpayers being born.) "
Yeah. Forget that these are small nations, that people from large ones are using to stash their cash in. ~Teal
Excerpt -- "There is, however, an alternative economic theory. Last summer demographers Patrick Fagan and Henry Potrykus published a paper examining the effect of nonmarriage on the labor participation rate. Fagan and Potrykus were able to identify a clear statistical effect of marriage on men’s labor participation. What they found is that without the responsibility of families to provide for, unmarried American males have historically tended to drop out of the labor force, exacerbating recessionary tendencies in the economy. We’ll soon find out which view is correct."
TradCon speak for "We're not even going to address making marriage a good (or even reasonable) risk for men. Just do it because the tax base needs it." And, chicken dinner is good for everyone ... except the chicken. ~Teal
Look at most of Europe. It is already known which view is correct.
