Gender and the Short-Run Economic Consequences of Marital Disruption Social Forces 73,1 (September 1994): 243-262.

Analysis of national survey data found that, among young adult couples separating or divorcing during the 1980s, women's postdisruption economic welfare was significantly lower than men's within all racial-ethnic groups. This disparity stemmed, directly and indirectly, from women's roles as primary child caretakers and was not related to gender differences in education or work experience. |
