Sex-specialized or collaborative mate selection? Union transitions among cohabitors
Article Abstract:
Research was conducted to examine whether economic considerations, gender attitudes, domestic contributions and domestic equity have an impact on decisions relating to marriage, separation or cohabitation. Data were taken from a sample of 13,008 respondents provided by the National Survey of Families and Households. Results suggest the dynamic to be a modified sex-specialized framework while the interaction of the woman's time spent on housework by her earnings is directly correlated to separation rather than staying with her partner.
