Study Finds Couples’ Division of Paid and Unpaid Labor Linked to Risk of Divorce
“My results suggest that, in general, financial factors do not determine whether couples stay together or separate,” said study author Alexandra Killewald, a professor of sociology at Harvard University. “Instead, couples’ paid and unpaid work matters for the risk of divorce, even after adjusting for how work is related to financial resources.”
Overall, women are far more likely to initiate divorce.
In 2009, sociologist Michael Rosenfeld added to the analysis of which sex is more likely to initiate a divorce. Rosenfeld added dating couples into his equations, following up with married and dating couples every year until 2015. Over the course of the study, 371 of the couples (out of 2,538), either broke up or got divorced. When talking divorce, sure enough, the women in the study initiated the divorce 69 percent of the time. Among those couples who were dating, then broke up during the study, it was almost equally split as far as whether the man or the woman initiated the breakup.

Killewald found that, for couples married after 1974, neither wives’ full-time employment nor sharing the housework more evenly was associated with the risk of divorce. In this cohort, husbands’ full-time employment was an important factor in marital stability, with the risk of divorce higher for men who were not employed full-time.
