Marital Disruption and the Employment of Married Women Journal of Marriage and Family 52,3 (August 1990): 657-676. Also: http://www.jstor.org/stable/352932 Cohort(s): Young Women Publisher: National Council on Family Relations Keyword(s): Earnings, Wives; Employment; Income; Marital Disruption; Wives; Wives, Income; Wives, Work; Work Experience This paper examines the widely-held belief that the recent increase in women's labor force participation is responsible for the increase in marital disruption. Using data from the NLS of Young Women on a sample of women whose first marriage took place after 1968 and who had not been widowed before 1983, the author found that the rate and timing of marital disruption was negatively related to wife's income and positively related to the number of hours worked and to the amount of premarital work experience. Implications of these findings for current and future marriage cohorts are discussed. |
