===Marriage===
Households with two wage-earners have a significantly lower rate of working poverty than households with only one wage-earner.  Also, households with two adults, but only one wage-earner, have lower working poverty rates than households with only one adult. Therefore, it seems clear that having two adults in a household, especially if there are children present, is more likely to keep a household out of poverty than having just one adult in a household.  Many scholars and policymakers have used this fact to argue that encouraging people to get married and stay married is an effective way to reduce working poverty (and poverty in general).  However, this is easier said than done.  Research has shown that low-income people marry less often than higher-income people because they have a more difficult time finding a partner who is employed, which is often seen as a prerequisite for marriage.<ref name="wilson, william julius">{{cite book|last=Wilson|first=William Julius|title=The Truly Disadvantaged|year=1987|publisher=University of Chicago Press|location=Chicago, IL|isbn=978-0-226-90131-2|url=https://archive.org/details/trulydisadvantag00wils|url-access=registration|quote=william julius wilson the truly disadvantaged.}}</ref>  Therefore, unless the employment opportunity structure is improved, simply increasing the number of marriages among low-income people would be unlikely to lower working poverty rates.
