You can judge the health of a nation by the strength of its families. Are Americans having and raising children? Are we giving parents opportunities for stable jobs and the other requisite tools to raise healthy kids? When we look at the next generation, are we offering them a path to successful lives ahead?

Too often, our answer is “no.”

Many of the problems facing kids today, including poverty, housing, and poor health outcomes, are alarming and require our attention. But some of the most pressing issues today are new and represent a cultural crisis unique to younger generations.

Part of the problem lies with underlying shifts in family development. To many Americans, marriage now resembles a luxury good — a trend that precludes stable households from forming in the first place. An economic gap has emerged in which working-class Americans are marrying less and less frequently. As Charles Murray documented in “Coming Apart,” the percentage of American children living with both biological parents was identical for affluent and working-class families — 95 percent — in 1960.

After my parents left behind a life of poverty in Cuba to immigrate to the United States, my father was able to find work and support my family as a bartender. My mother stayed at home to raise me and my younger sister, also supporting her own elderly father in the process. Once we were old enough, she returned to the labor force.

My parents’ hard work enabled me and my siblings to enjoy a secure, comfortable childhood and grow up into the people we are today.

For the sake of the next generations of American families, it is incumbent on us to make sure that promise remains open.
Sen. Marco Rubio is a Republican senator from Florida.
