But the takeaway from both is that wealthy elites need to pay attention because of the impact on society and not just look at their own situation as individuals (which is that they continue to get married at close to historic rates). Deseret is claiming that those elites are starting to do so (which they hope means religious sensibilities will be accorded more respect), Brookings is saying that they need to do so. Neither offers many prescriptions as to what they should do beyond “paying attention” to the problem.
