Employment, Income, and Family Life: The Case of Marital Dissolution In: Women's Changing Roles at Home and on the Job: National Commission for Manpower Policy, Special Report No: 26. Washington DC: U.S. GPO, 1978 Cohort(s): Mature Women Publisher: U.S. Department of Labor Keyword(s): Divorce; Earnings; Employment; Family Resources; Marital Dissolution; Marital Stability; Wives; Work Attitudes This paper presents evidence that several aspects of a couple's economic situation influence the probability of marital dissolution. Two effects have the most relevance for policymakers. First, increased stability and security of the husband's employment decreased the probability of dissolution, independent of income levels. Second, wives who have independent sources of income that compare favorably with the incomes of their husbands have a greater probability of marital dissolution. |
