In the 20-year cohort of American young people who were born in the years from 1998 through 2017 — and will start turning 21 next year — 37.8 percent were born to unmarried mothers, according to data published by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
80,913,887 children were born during that two-decade stretch; 30,611,650 did not have a father who was married to their mother.  https://www.cnsnews.com/
