It also examines the effect of these changes on economic and social outcomes for children, and the effect of marriage policy on specific subgroups, such as low-income, minority, and homosexual families. The volume also provides a review of programs that have tried to increase and stabilize marriage, as well as the impact of tax and transfer policies on marriage.
