Divorce, Economic Resources, and Survival among Older Black and White Women Journal of Marriage and Family 83,1 (February 2021): 173-190. Also: https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/jomf.12702 Cohort(s): Mature Women Publisher: Blackwell Publishing, Inc. => Wiley Online Keyword(s): Divorce; Economic Well-Being; Home Ownership; Mortality; Net Worth; Racial Differences Objective: This study identifies which midlife economic resources reduce the association between divorce and mortality risk among older Black and White women. Method: Fractional logistic regression and Gompertz proportional hazards models were estimated with data from the National Longitudinal Survey of Mature Women (N = 4,668; nlsinfo.org) to examine the associations between divorce, economic resources, and mortality among older Black and White women (born 1923-1937). Results: Divorced White women had significantly less housing and financial wealth than their continuously married counterparts, and both Black and White divorcees had less vehicle wealth and higher probabilities of indebtedness. With respect to survival, net worth and housing wealth accounted for the largest reductions in marital and racial differences in survival. |
