Research suggests American children have only an 8% chance of growing up in poverty when their parents have a first child after age 20, finish high school, and get married. However, children of parents who do not meet these conditions have a 79% chance of being raised in poverty. In the 2008 Report we clarified the definition of this indicator (percent of first births where both parents completed high school, parents are married [at any time from conception to birth], and both parents are at least 20 years old), explained that data for some prior years had been recalculated as a result, and noted that recalculated data for the year 2003 are not available.
