"In 1969, more than 40% of all households consisted of a married couple with children. By 1996 only a rough quater of US households consisted of married couples with children. "
"The average fertility rate(the average number of children to a woman in her lifetime)rose from 1.7 in 1930 to a peak of 3.7 in 1950-1957, it has dropped to 1.5 in 1970 and steadily rose to 1.9 in 2000, and is projected to be 2.0-2.4 in 2050."
