Cornell economist: College women have married at a steady rate for decades , while rate for women without degrees has dropped precipitously.

Results suggest research and policy should increasingly focus on working-class men and women.

As men did worse, noncollege women's marriage prospects suffered, college women's much less so.

"Doing so," Goldman said, "could not only benefit the current generation but also increase the share of children born into married, two -parent households, potentially improving outcomes for children born to low-income mothers."
