Husband’s employment status threatens marriage, but wife’s does not, study finds.
A new study of employment and divorce suggests that while social pressure discouraging women from working outside the home has weakened, pressure on husbands to be breadwinners largely remains.
The research, led by Liana Sayer of Ohio State University and forthcoming in the American Journal of Sociology, was designed to show how employment status influences both men’s and women’s decisions to end a marriage.
