Effects of Income and Age at Marriage on Marital Stability Presented: Chicago, IL, American Sociological Association Annual Meetings, 1977 Cohort(s): Young Women Publisher: American Sociological Association Keyword(s): Assets; Earnings; Ethnic Groups/Ethnicity; Family Resources; Marital Dissolution; Marital Stability; Marriage Permission to reprint the abstract has not been received from the publisher. This research examines the effects of ethnic status, age at marriage, and family assets on marital stability. All three variables were found to significantly affect the chances of instability. The work of Bumpass and Sweet (1972) and Cutright (1971) was supported by the data showing that the effects of age at marriage on marital separation do not primarily reflect economic effects of early marriage. Likewise, it was suggested that the high rate of instability among blacks cannot be explained by their poorer economic status and rate of early marriage. |
