Furthermore...since many single mothers are under-educated, teenagers themselves in poverty...households headed by single mothers do less well overall than households headed by single fathers.

So single fathers aren't under-educated? or, if under-educated, can do better than single moms? Help me understand the data/reasoning here.
If you substitue "single-mom" with its unwed mother / lack of values connotation with "widow" or "widower", the emotive "feel" of the study results changes.
Sorry. Hit a button there. Personal experience...
