A lot of single motherhood in the US is caused by the way we do welfare. If we didn't punish them for having a father living with them and contributing then we wouldn't be where we are with it. It was designed that way to keep people on the doll, or seems to be from the results of it. If you wanted to reduce it, cut out benefits on a 2 for 1 scheme. For every 2 dollars you earn, you lose 1 dollar in benefits, so instead of discouraging work with it, you encourage working.
