Welfare is cheaper than prison and that's where they end up. The women have their children and the children qualify for welfare, the mother rides along as the "care taker". The men don't get welfare like the children do, so they end up being "taken care of" in prison.
The men who aren't in prison often end up as live in boyfriends because marriage ends most welfare benefits.
It's a self perpetuating cycle of failure.
It's the whole group. They all rely on various forms of welfare.
