Data from the NLS of Older Men and Mature Women indicate that separated women have consistently lower incomes than divorced women and that background SES does not explain their low income. The earning differential between the sexes seems to be the most important determinant of the economic status of white female family heads, while the race by sex interaction is most important for non-white women.
