Question 8 • Social Problems 1: A World in Crisis (IS)

Married people are less likely to live in poverty than single people. Why is this the case?

Answer
A
There are a lot of social advantages to being married.
B
Overall, married people are less likely to go into debt.
C
They have two incomes and combine their resources.
D
Society is arranged to take care of married people, not single people.

Explanation

Married partners can combine their earnings and share expenses such as housing, utilities, and food. Having two incomes or shared resources can make it easier to cover basic costs and reduce the chance of falling into poverty. This is why “They have two incomes and combine their resources” is the best answer.
