Not usre if anyone has mentioned this or not...I have seen agenda, and I have seen propoganda, thinly veiled or blatant. This study IMO does not imply anything about the value of marriage. It counts the number of women living without spouse, maybe to evaluate the number of women who are self-supporting, working, in need of assistance, or something positive. More likely the study only focused on women, because the population of women and men per capita varies from place to place, and overall I believe there are more women than men. So, showing that a certain percent of women are living without spouse does not presume the same number of men are. Different stats result for women and men. Maybe they just didnt get around to polling the men yet.
