How can I make notes with bullet points in this paragraph? Major shift is the dramatic rise in mothers' entry into the paid work force. In 1960, only 20 percent of mothers with preschool children were in the labor force; in 2016, this number was close to 65 percent (U.S. Bureau of the Census, 1975; U.S. Department of Labor, 2017). For mothers with school-age children, only 40 percent were in the work force in 1960, but the rate nearly doubled to 75 percent by 2016 (U.S. Department of Labor, 2017). In Canada, similar trends are evident. For mothers with children under 6 years, the rate rose from 33 percent in 1976 to 60 percent in 2014 while the figures rose for school-age children from 50 percent to 80 percent across this period. Another change is that couples are waiting until they are older before they marry and have their first child. Opportunities to become parents have also expanded. Infertile couples can now have children through a variety of new reproductive technologies, or they can follow the old-fashioned route: adoption. Same-sex couples, too, can become parents, and the number of lesbian and gay parents as heads of households has increased (Goldberg, 2010). Need Assignment Help?
