The rate counts ever-married women and then checks if they’re separated or divorced. Which means lower marriage rates are not a factor.

There was a big jump in the 70s as no-fault divorce became common. It’s been dropping ever since.

Well if you never get married, have a kid, go be with someone else who has kids… what would you call that? I’m sure people are still viewing it as “step” siblings even thought there wasn’t any paperwork involved. There’s a lot of family’s like this just in my city alone.
