Very cool presentation of the changing look of motherhood in the US. Since 1990, mothers are 3% less likely to be under 20, 5% more likely to be over 35, 10% more likely to be Hispanic, and 13% more likely to be unmarried.
24% of mothers were foreign born in 2004, compared to 15% in 1990.
54% of mothers were likely to have some college in 2006, compared to 41% in 1990.
Anyways, lots of cool statistics that will no doubt completely reshape the next 20 years.
This one hits home. I wonder about the spike in the 1990s of three kid desirability. Cosby Show influences?
