Being Sole Breadwinner Is Bad for Men's Health but Good for Women Telegraph, August 19, 2016. Also: https://www.telegraph.co.uk/science/2016/08/19/being-sole-breadwinner-is-bad-for-mens-health-but-good-for-women/ Cohort(s): NLSY97 Publisher: The Telegraph Keyword(s): Gender Attitudes/Roles; Gender Differences; Happiness (see Positive Affect/Optimism); Health, Mental; Health/Health Status/SF-12 Scale Permission to reprint the abstract has not been received from the publisher. A new study suggests that being the sole breadwinner is bad for a man's mental and physical health and sharing the financial burden brings long-term benefits to well-being. In contrast, women's mental health benefits from being the only provider with their overall emotional health and happiness declining as they contributed less to the household. The US researchers conclude that cultural expectations have left men viewing 'breadwinning' as an obligation they must fulfill, while women see it as an achievement.
