Sex Role Attitudes, Female Employment, and Marital Satisfaction Journal of Comparative Family Studies 9 (Spring 1978): 53-67 Cohort(s): Mature Women, Young Women Publisher: Canadian Ethnic Studies Keyword(s): Employment; Husbands, Attitudes; Marital Satisfaction/Quality; Marriage; Sex Roles; Wives, Attitudes Substantial increases in the proportion of married females in the labor force have occurred during the past 25 years. This has prompted family scholars to ask whether or not the employment of the wife might affect marital satisfaction. Although this question has been examined by a number of scholars, research on this topic needs to be extended in at least two ways. First, sex role attitudes of husband and wife would appear to be important but have not been examined thoroughly. Second, other variables known to be associated with female employment have not been adequately controlled. The purpose of this paper is to examine with appropriate controls the effects of sex role attitudes and the wife's employment status on marital satisfaction. |

Children, Race/Ethnicity, and Marital Wealth Accumulation in Black and Hispanic Households Journal of Comparative Family Studies 42,2 (March 2011): 145-169.

As wealth inequality in the United States continues to grow, family characteristics have become increasingly important to researchers' understanding of changes in wealth inequality over time. One aspect of adulthood is having children and transitioning to parenthood, which can affect numerous outcomes, including wealth trajectories. Due to widely-recognized structural constraints, black and Hispanic households generally have fewer financial resources to draw upon when they begin to have children. Therefore, existing racial/ethnic wealth inequality may increase when minority families have children. We use growth curve modeling techniques to analyze a sample of continuously married couples from the National Longitudinal Survey of Youth, 1979 cohort. Results suggest that children affect family financial resources in different ways and that this effect varies by race and ethnicity. These findings improve our understanding of how a similar family event-having children-within families contributes to divergent financial outcomes between families. |
