The Law Of Unitended Consequences In Action
China experience an unintended consequence when they passed a law to aid single parents. The people saw a chance to improve their economical status and started divorcing. The mass divorce was noticed by officials who then abolished the law and persuaded 39 of the 41 teachers to remarry their former spouse.
We do the same thing in the U.S. but we do not seem to be wise enough to catch on. Aids to dependent families to single mothers because they are single then they will remain single or get a divorce in at least some cases while cohabitating. This causes a dilemma that may be solved by considering each individual separate without rewarding or penalize them for any other adult in the house. This may lease a stay at home individual with a well paid mate to receive Aid but it seems to be better than encouraging divorce or cohabitation which are both known to damage our society.

Yeah, I'd say piling on the divorces is bad for any society. 20/20 hindsight and all that.
