    Judging from the rise with each generation, every zoomer will be a single parent.

    Or something like 39% if the 3.9% increase per year since 1990 holds true, with 2022 being 31%.

      At that point the only way of having a functional family will be becoming to Mormonism, Mennonism or going straight Amish.

            No, divorce is a taboo in all 3 groups and is seen as a personal failure to be unable to maintain a marriage. On the flip side there is a degree of unhappy marriages that persist because remarrying is not really possible if you stay in the community. Leaving the community means being shunned and that is pretty horrible.

            All 3 tend to have big families, because they come from big families. The Amish and Mennonites need the labor, Mormons just want to go forth and prosper.
