Economic Well-Being and Marital Stability: Implications for Income Maintenance Programs Journal of Marriage and Family 40,2 (May 1978): 283-290. Also: http://www.jstor.org/stable/350759 Cohort(s): Young Women Publisher: National Council on Family Relations Keyword(s): Assets; Educational Attainment; Family Resources; Husbands, Income; Marital Dissolution; Marriage; Welfare; Well-Being The authors examine the effects of economic well-being on marital stability. The results show that income by itself has only a negligible effect on marital dissolution; however, the level of assets has a significant effect even after relevant variables are controlled. The dissolution rate of blacks is significantly higher than for whites as is the rate for less educated women. The results suggest that direct income supplements may have little effect on marital dissolution unless they increase the level of family assets. |
