The Role of Individual Socioeconomic Change in Marital Decision-making
(2010) EKHR02 20101Department of Economic History
- Abstract (Swedish)
- This paper examines the impacts of short-term changes in individual socioeconomic status on marital formation and dissolution by using data from Current Population Survey (CPS). Empirical results suggest that employment stability plays the most important role in conditioning the marriage entry and dramatic increase in relative earning power within family may impose greatest threat to marital stability. There are few gender differences in such effects are found, and patterns do not very much vary overtime.
