Earnings, Health and Marital Status Change: A Longitudinal Study of a Cohort of Mature Women Presented: New York, NY, Eastern Sociological Society Meeting, 1979 Cohort(s): Mature Women Publisher: Eastern Sociological Society Keyword(s): Health/Health Status/SF-12 Scale; Household Income; Marital Status; Wages; Welfare; Widows; Wives Permission to reprint the abstract has not been received from the publisher. 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. |
