abstract: 'Objective To examine the association between divorce and partners''
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
allocation of paid and unpaid work, and change over a few key decades in
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
both West Germany and the United States. Background Past research has
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
indicated that partner similarity in time spent on both paid and unpaid
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
work is associated with a higher risk of marital dissolution. We explore
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
whether the association between paid work disparities and divorce or
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
between unpaid work disparities and divorce changed across time or
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
differed between two cultures. Method Using data from the Panel Study of
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Income Dynamics for the United States and the German Socio-Economic
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Panel for West Germany from the mid-1980s until the end of the 2000s, we
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
conducted event history analyses. Results Over time, the risk of divorce
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
declined among couples with a more similar division of labor. In
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
parallel, the relative stability of marriages adhering to a dissimilar
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
pattern of unpaid work decreased in Western Germany. Conclusion These
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
results contrast with the predictions of a static normative perspective,
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
but they are consistent with the multiple equilibrium theory, which
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
predicts that divorce risks will decline in tandem with the embrace of
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
more gender similarity in couple arrangements. Thus, evidence suggests
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
that as societies evolve toward greater gender similarity in the
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
division of paid and unpaid work, marital stability will likely improve.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Implications Preventive intervention approaches promoting new forms of
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
organization in the division of work between partners may be useful in
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
the quest for improved marital relations and well-being.'
