Please read the following paragraph and identify whether the following student’s summary accurate. Original Out-of-wedlock births are becoming more common around the globe. In Europe, the proportion of babies born out of wedlock has doubled and tripled in the past twenty years. Many people assume that this is because European welfare states support single mothers (and the poor overall) more generously than the U.S. government does. And this belief is prevalent in a more extreme form: Some people believe that unwed mothers (especially teens) get pregnant and have a baby just to get a welfare check, and that consequently it’s not surprising that European countries have increasing rates. But all industrialized countries, including the United States, are cutting back on welfare provision as a result of the tightening global economy, and out-of-wedlock births have responded by increasing. Student Summary Numbers of babies born to single mothers have been increasing, even though welfare support has been decreasing. The last two decades have seen such births tripling in Europe. The belief that welfare encourages unwed women to have babies seems to be unjustified.
