Parents' occupation has been found to matter when children grow up. In the article by Maria Cancian and Deborah Reeds entitled “Family structure, childbearing and parental employment: implications for the level and trend of poverty”, the importance of working parents is explained. It stands to reason that families that have more adults and fewer children are less likely to decrease poverty. Households that have working adult men are also less likely to be poor (Cancian & Reed, 2009). Furthermore, religiosity can also act as a protective factor against poverty. In research conducted by Patrick Fagan for the Heritage Organization, evidence is listed that demonstrates the importance of religiosity in the family. One reason he states is that those who go to church are more likely to get married and have fulfilling marriages. He says church attendance can serve as a tool for young people to lift themselves out of poverty. Religion can keep children away from substance abuse problems. Patrick Fagan, quoting Allen Bergin, professor of psychology, "religious involvement reduces" problems such as sexual permissiveness, teenage pregnancies, suicide, drug abuse, alcoholism and, to a certain extent, deviant acts and delinquents, and increases self-esteem, family cohesion and general well-being... Some religious influences have a modest impact while another seems like the mental equivalent of nuclear energy... More generally, social scientists are discovering the persistent power of religion to protect the family from forces that could tear it down” (Fagan,
