Key Points

This research aims to understand how family and work factors contribute to racial disparities in poverty in the U.S.
Utilized logistic regression to analyze the relationship between race, family structure, and poverty risk.
Decomposed racial differences in poverty risk to evaluate the impact of marriage and workforce participation.
Estimated the variance in poverty risk among black, white, and Hispanic groups.
Found that 47.7-48.9% of black-white differences in poverty risk are explained by family structure and workforce participation.
Identified that only 4.3-4.5% of the Hispanic-white differential in poverty risk is accounted for by these factors.
Highlighted distinct racial origins of poverty, implying that policy interventions may have differing impacts.
