This paper compares three groups of married women, the control group whose marriages remained intact for at least 10 years, a group whose marriages ended in separation or divorce, and a group who were widowed at a particular point in that time period. The women whose marriages would end in divorce or separation were more likely to be in the labor force, had relatively higher income, more predictable wages, and had contributed a proportionately larger share of the total household income while married.
