Parental employment has been shown to be important when children grow up. Maria Cancian and Deborah Reeds' article "Family Structure, Childbearing, and Parental Employment: Implications for Poverty Levels and Changes" explains the importance of working parents. It makes sense that families with more adults and fewer children are less likely to experience lower poverty. Families with working adult men are also less likely to be poor (Cancian and Reed, 2009). Additionally, religiosity can also act as a protective factor against poverty. In research conducted by Patrick Fagan for the Heritage Organization, lists evidence that proves the importance of religiosity in the family. One of the reasons he gives is that those who go to church are more likely to be married and have satisfying marriages. He says church attendance can serve as a tool for young people to escape poverty. Religion can protect children from substance abuse problems. Patrick Fagan, quotes psychology professor Allen Bergin, "religious involvement reduces "problems such as sexual permissiveness, teenage pregnancy, suicide, drug addiction, alcoholism, and, to some extent, deviant and delinquents, and increases self-esteem, family cohesion and general well-being... Some religious influences have a modest impact while another part seems to be the mental equivalent of nuclear energy....
