Sometimes, employers provide extra benefits to parents with children because they need the employees. For, example, some positions require skill sets that are rare to find in employees, some positions are in locations that generally don't appeal to single people, etc. - I've heard that rural colleges cater to professors with families. Single professors are more likely to quit because there's nothing to do in town and no one to date.

I've actually heard of something like this happening: employers who checked their applicants credit ratings, and hired people with mountains of debt. The debt made sure that the employee would take more shit before quitting. (in this case, it was recent graduates)

I've actually seen an empirical study on real estate agent hiring. The best sales people were people with families with a lot of debt -- the more debt, the more sales.
