According to a recent study published in the American Sociological Review, financial factors such as a couple’s resources and a wife’s ability to support herself in the event of divorce are not reliable predictors of divorce. What does seem to affect a couple’s risk of divorce is the manner in which the couple divides both paid and unpaid labor.
The study’s author, Alexandra Killewald, a professor of sociology at Harvard University, joins DadsDivorce to discuss how these factors affect marital stability and how that compares to previous generations.
