Thomas Sowell talks about this, he noted that divorce, teen pregnancy etc shot up after the expansion of the welfare state.
Government programs incentivize families to break apart rather than sticking together when times get tough. This is especially true among single parents in certain minority communities in urban centers.
Of course, there is an entire industry centered around growing dependence on the government. Modern feminism encourages women to stop having children and becoming a human tax generator instead. The state ultimately wants to replace old stock westerners with a more controllable group of people from places that are used to living like serfs.
There is no magic solution to reverse this, it is the result of decades of societal erosion. I believe that the only solution is to balkanize the country into smaller political entities that can form their own economic and social values.
Government is far too centralized now to reform from within, even in the USA.
