A great graphical summary of the recent Pew Foundation study showing increases in all forms of untraditional families, with nearly everyone aspiring to marriage but only college-educated people typically getting married. But there's one factor distorting this data that also affects most other such studies: it has no way of telling how many currently married people have been divorced in the past -- it just reports them as married. So it understates divorce, but I can't tell how much. Likewise, it reports on children living with married couples but doesn't say how many are children of divorce with stepparents.
