A second line of research has looked at changes in homeownership. Gender differences in satisfaction with divorce settlements. - 138.201.225.66. Men are also at greater risk for physical health problems such as heart attacks and stroke. Looking at a broader measure of satisfaction with the overall standard of living, I found no significant gender differences in the magnitude of declines across the divorce process (Table S5). (1994). The, N. S., & Gordon-Larsen, P. (2009). Schmollers Jahrbuch, 127(1), 139–169. 45, No. Umberson, D., Crosnoe, R., & Reczek, C. (2010). gender differences in post-divorce economic well-being. Both wife and husband are greatly impacted by divorce. Figure 4 relates to my last set of outcomes, pertaining to the social consequences of divorce. Differences in drinking were much smaller. Women have less physical health problems than men in the beginning of their divorce. Women’s and men’s frequency of visits to relatives remained constant throughout the study period (panel e, Fig. These friends may only know the divorcing couple as a married couple, making it increasingly difficult to separate an independent identity from the marriage identity. I used data from the German Socio-Economic Panel Study (SOEP) and fixed-effects panel regression models on a sample of N = 18,030 individuals initially observed in a marital union, N = 1,220 of whom divorced across the observation period (1984–2015). Gender and the short-run economic consequences of marital disruption. Women experience more financial distress after the divorce. Given the lack of comparative studies on larger sets of outcomes, broader conclusions about cross-national variation in the gendered consequences of divorce require further multiple-outcome studies using data from other national contexts. A recent study showed that compared with Germany, women’s short-term and medium-term losses in household income were indeed smaller in the UK and in Australia but not in the United States (de Vaus et al. The decline of substance use in young adulthood: Changes in social activities, roles, and beliefs. Simon, R. W., & Marcussen, K. (1999). Although the evidence is not consistent about all these effects, it suggests that an assessment of gender differences in the consequences of divorce should look at multiple outcomes. Journal of Health and Social Behavior, 32, 221–237. First, I selected 36,631 individuals born in Germany and living in the Federal Republic of Germany before unification in 1989. The German Socio-Economic Panel Study (SOEP )—Scope, evolution and enhancements. De Graaf, P. M., & Kalmijn, M. (2003). The plots presented in Fig. These results suggest that research should consider both objective and subjective measures to understand gender differences in postdivorce economic well-being. Married people drink and smoke less (Bachman et al. Regularly, I am asked the question of whether our firm, Sodoma Law, represents more men or more women in divorce, support and custody cases. Gender differences in divorce adjustment were inves- tigated. Although previous studies have found that women have more tolerant attitudes toward divorce compared to men, we find that this gender difference depends on the measure. A similar result of small gender differences emerged for divorce-related declines in homeownership (panel b, Fig. 336-342. Taken together, these findings suggest that men’s disproportionate strain of divorce is transient, whereas women’s is chronic. Berlin: German Institute for Economic Research. (2013). Both wife and husband are greatly impacted by divorce. Although these four domains are interrelated and partly overlapping, this classification is useful as an organizing scheme for relevant outcomes and related findings. Gender and Society, 1, 125–151. Research on gender differences in the consequences of divorce has typically focused on only one of these domains. Correspondence to A., Selim, A. J., & Kazis, L. E. (2010). Some gender differences can be traced to how boys and girls are often socialized differently, while others are due to the realities that many divorcing families face. As we see in the chart, for many countries divorce rates increased markedly between the 1970s and 1990s. In subsequent years, the gap narrowed and vanished in the period of 3 to 5 years after divorce. Chilcoat, H. D., & Breslau, N. (1996). systematically address gender differences than previous studies have done. Research by social psychologists suggests hypotheses about gender differences in the impact of parental divorce on the decisions to work and to … To accomplish this, I removed all postdivorce variance in both controls, holding both variables constant at their values observed in the year before divorce. Deriving SF-12v2 physical and mental health summary scores: A comparison of different scoring algorithms. These differences were due to conditioning this sample on observing a divorce across the panel. The divorce rate for a third marriage increases to roughly 70%. © 2021 Springer Nature Switzerland AG. 2). Third, my conclusions are limited to the West German context from which the data were drawn. 143). Consistent with theory suggesting that women’s workplace achievement violates traditional expectations of gender and marriage, therefore creating domestic strain, the authors predict that career achievement is associated with a greater risk of divorce for women, but not for men. Panel a shows that men were slightly more likely to move in the year of divorce and that women were more likely to move in the following years. Quality of Life Research, 19, 231–241. In the case of residential moves, for example, women may more often leave the shared household for economic reasons, whereas men may more leave the shared household for family reasons related to child custody. In this study, I examined gender differences in the consequences of divorce by tracing annual change in 20... Introduction. A multiwave panel study indicated that these changes may be permanent (Hewitt et al. 2007). Debates about gender differences in the consequences of divorce as well as policies aimed at alleviating these differences often center on women’s vulnerability (Amato 2000; Diedrick 1991). At the same time, women are more likely to initiate divorce after they accept that their efforts are hopeless (Brinig and Allen 2000; Kalmijn and Poortman 2006). In contrast to the measures for income and poverty, these results on the subjective measures of economic well-being indicated smaller and transient gender differences. Berlin, Germany: DIW Berlin. Understanding Gender Differences 3 Understanding Gender Differences in Children’s Adjustment to Divorce: Implications for School Counselors There is ample evidence that divorce can have adverse effects on children’s well being (O’Connor, Hetherington, … Numerous studies have shown that the economic costs of divorce fall more heavily on women. Divorce affects various aspects of health and psychological well-being as well as economic, social, and domestic life. Women who initiate divorce might already feel the relief of having terminated an unhappy relationship. Leopold, T., & Kalmijn, M. (2016). In view of this inconsistency, review articles have concluded that no compelling evidence exists to substantiate the claim that following a divorce, women are generally better off in terms of health and subjective well-being (Amato 2000; Amato and James 2010). Journal of Marriage and Family, 64, 211–224. Social Science Research, 36, 447–468. First, I included an indicator variable for whether a respondent was registered as unemployed. Age effects and period effects might introduce bias in the estimation of temporal profiles of change in the outcomes across predivorce and postdivorce stages.

Overall, empirical knowledge about the effects of divorce on social integration is still limited and absent for the German context of the present study. Wiesbaden, Germany: VS. Fleishman, J. Smock, P. J., Manning, W. D., & Gupta. PubMed Google Scholar. Regarding repartnering, my findings were consistent with earlier research showing higher chances of repartnering among men. Although it was important to control for these experiences before divorce, canceling out their effects after divorce would be undesirable because both factors could mediate divorce effects on several of the outcomes under consideration (see Amato 2000:1272). Income and life satisfaction after marital disruption in Germany. Other U.S. estimates for women’s drops in economic well-being are even larger (Bianchi et al. Just as there may be differences in the effect of income on default by gender, there may also be gender differences in the effect of other factors such as age and education. Social Forces, 81, 1459–1498. By Nicole H. Sodoma. Moving related to separation: Who moves and to what distance. Alternative routes in the remarriage market: Competing-risk analyses of union formation after divorce. Explanations for these gender inequalities highlight four risk factors for women (Bröckel and Andress 2015; Holden and Smock 1991): (1) higher economic need and restricted earning capacities in the presence of children; (2) insufficient child maintenance; (3) disproportionate loss of income, which is often not fully compensated by spousal maintenance; and (4) human capital deficits resulting from gender specialization in the division of labor during marriage. Becoming married, depression, and alcohol problems among young adults. Doing gender. Similarly, if women’s coping is more internalized and men’s coping more externalized, the negative effects of both stress responses on general health measures may not differ much, on average. Unspecified and Other may ostensibly appear synonymous, but there is quite a distinction in terms of diagnostic application. First, people with resident children are less likely to repartner, and women more often get custody (Ivanova et al. 1996; Mastekaasa 1995; Strohschein et al. Furthermore, future divorcees showed lower mental health and similar physical health and body mass index (BMI) compared with those who would stay married. 4 (social outcomes) illustrate change in all 20 outcome measures across the divorce process separately for women (black curves) and men (gray curves).

Journal of Family Issues, 14, 378–400. Women and men did not differ much in terms of the consequences of divorce for (1) subjective economic well-being; (2) residential moves, homeownership, and satisfaction with housework; (3) mental health, physical health, and psychological well-being; and (4) chances of repartnering and social integration with friends and relatives. Their former husbands, in contrast, may even improve their standard of living in postdivorce years.

Part of Springer Nature. New York, NY: Russel Sage Foundation. Although some of the relevant costs and resources are gendered, these differences seem to balance out on a larger scale. In Tables 2 and 3, I present descriptive statistics and detailed information about the measurement of all outcomes. Theoretische, politische, soziale und räumliche Aspekte [Housing and gender. Thomas, S. P. (1982). Journal of Marriage and Family, 69, 500–512. Reforms after the turn of the millennium have targeted some of these issues by implementing elements of the Nordic welfare model, including an expansion of public childcare, stronger economic incentives for mothers to return to the workforce, and other policies aimed at providing equal opportunities for men and women. The only larger and statistically significant difference was that men’s initial declines in life satisfaction exceeded those of women (panel a, Fig. Dykstra, P. A., & Fokkema, T. (2007). Obesity Research, 10, 809–815. Idler, E. L., & Benyamini, Y. 2013). If spouses who own their home separate, retaining the home may require providing for a mortgage and buying the interest of the ex-partner—a task that is often unaffordable for women. Gupta, S.

The results on changes in model fit for each outcome are summarized in Table S7, Online Resource 1. Holden, K. C., & Smock, P. J. (2002). In subsequent years, women’s incomes recovered to reduce the resulting average gender gap from more than 11,000 Euros to approximately 6,500 Euros of equivalized annual household income (all income listed in 2011 values). Where one lives, what school their children may attend, and who they confide in are all subject to change. (Jul., 1996), pp. 4). Gender differences in divorce adjustment. 2008; Gupta 1999). Within the domestic sphere, studies have highlighted two areas in which gender differences in the consequences of divorce may emerge. Journal of Marriage and Family, 72, 1263–1273. Healing from a divorce is like healing from any other sort of loss. This chapter examines the implications of career achievement for divorce, and whether they differ for men and women. In these domains, several studies have reported that men were Gender Differences in the Consequences of Divorce: A Study of Multiple Outcomes Abstract. Bennett, N. G. (2017). A third theme comprises the consequences of divorce for social integration beyond the ties to partners and children. The divorce rate for a first marriage in America is between 40-50%. Women are more aware of marital problems and make greater investments in holding a marriage together (Baruch et al. Social relationships and health behavior across life course. Thomas Leopold. Grabka, M. M. (2013). Environment and Planning A: Economy and Space, 43, 2589–2607. Given that divorce constitutes a major life course risk of losing homeownership, a number of housing studies have examined gender inequality in this risk. Clark, A. E., Diener, E., Georgellis, Y., & Lucas, R. E. (2008). First, observations from the control sample enabled me to better account for time-changing heterogeneity (e.g., age and period effects on the outcome measures) given that a much larger set of panel observations was available to estimate these effects. Family Relations, 45, 336–342. Studies that cut across two or more domains are rare. Second, where gender differences emerged, they were mostly short-lived. Is divorce more painful when couples have children? 2012; Stack and Eshleman 1998), higher risk of adopting bad health habits (Umberson 1992), elevated mortality (Berntsen and Kravdal 2012; Sbarra et al. Gender differences in children's developmental adjustment to divorce are influenced by pre and post divorce development processes, parent expectation and children's coping abilities. Social Indicators Research, 112, 497–527. Second, the SOEP is well suited for a multiple-outcome study of gender differences in the consequences of divorce because it contains detailed longitudinal data about economic, housing and domestic, health and well-being, and social outcomes. As a result of this heterogeneity, the empirical basis for broader conclusions about gender differences in the consequences of divorce remains limited. Family Science, 1, 2–13. 2013). The Psychology of Conspiracy Theories: Why Do People Believe Them? First, the SOEP includes multiple observations of respondents and short gaps between observations: data are available annually between 1984 and 2015. This restriction concentrated the analysis on the typical age range of divorce, and it reduced age heterogeneity in the life course profiles of the outcome measures. The year of divorce was defined as the year of separation, although change of the legal status from married to divorced is often delayed by an obligatory year of separation before divorce. For example, the effect of divorce on subjective well-being might partly run through declines in health satisfaction. Feijten, P. (2005). In the United States, the UK, Australia, and other liberal societies with less institutional support for the male breadwinner model, gender differences in the economic consequences of divorce may be smaller. Remarriage and new children have further negative effects, and these … Women’s poverty risk surged upward in the year of divorce. Mulder, C. H., & Wagner, M. (2010). There were significant gender differences with respect to receptivity to remarriage among those who had undergone a gray divorce. A divorcee can request spousal support, but maintenance claims are conditional on specific aspects of the preceding marriage, such as childcare, leave duration, and living standard. Journal of Divorce, 9(1), 61–72. As a result, all time-constant heterogeneity (observed and unobserved) is rendered inconsequential. Mental health, stress, and poor health behaviors in two community samples. Feijten, P., & Mulder, C. H. (2010). The divorce rate for a second marriage is between 60-67%. Schwarze, J., Andersen, H.

Gender Differences in the Association between Parental Divorce during Childhood and Stroke in Adulthood: Findings from a Population-Based Survey Esme Fuller-Thomson and Angela D. Dalton International Journal of Stroke 2012 10 : 6 , 868-875 The interactions between the divorce indicators and gender estimated from fully interacted models are shown in Tables S5 and S6, Online Resource 1. Feelings of loss that commonly occur in both husbands and wives can include: A form of identity is lost during divorce. Journal of Health and Social Behavior, 38, 21–37. Yet, the seemingly clear picture gets clouded when put into a larger context of divorce outcomes. Two studies (n = 497) examine gender differences in “unrealistic optimism” in beliefs of marriage using a Taiwanese population.Unrealistic optimism is defined as the beliefs that positive (negative) events are more (less) likely to happen to one’s self versus others. Journal of Marriage and the Family, 61, 700–711. The Balance of the Sexes in Divorce: Gender Differences and Parity. The divorce sample included respondents (1) who were initially observed sharing a household in a marital union, (2) who divorced across the observation period, and (3) for whom the year of divorce could be determined by consecutive observations in the panel. These physical health problems can range from the common cold to heart conditions and even cancer. A further potential reason for the absence of medium-term gender differences in many outcomes is adaptation. Veenhoven, R. (1996). Hazelrigg, L. E., & Hardy, M. A. Women experience more financial distress after the divorce. These findings on the absence of clear-cut gender differences are consistent with previous research on similar measures, including studies on subjective economic well-being (Andress and Bröckel 2007), health and psychological well-being (Strohschein et al. Grzywacz, J. G., & Marks, N. (1999). An important benefit of these data is the large array of subjective and objective outcome measures combined with an extensive window of observation, allowing me to assess short-term and medium-term consequences of divorce as well as gender differences therein. Leopold, L., Leopold, T., & Lechner, C. (2017). In Germany, taxation provides strong incentives to combine a breadwinner’s larger income with a homemaker’s smaller income, reinforcing a traditional division of labor during marriage (Cooke 2006). Cathy Meyer. As noted, Germany is an interesting setting to examine gender differences in the consequences of divorce because it has long represented an ideal type of a male breadwinner state. This research seeks to more systematically address gender differences than previous studies have done. Adverse events that can trigger the divorce process and influence the outcomes of interest represented another potential source of bias. 2010). Divorce, like all family topics, is fundamentally intertwined with gender. Aseltine, R. H., & Kessler, R. C. (1993). My aim was to offer a comprehensive view of gender differences in the consequences of divorce in terms of women’s and men’s year-to-year changes in multiple outcomes. Blekesaune, M., & Barrett, A. E. (2005). Marital status and happiness: A 17-nation study. Study 2 I assessed divorce effects relative to all observations in a marital union (i.e., the divorce sample’s observations in the reference period and the control sample’s continued observations in a marital union). Developments in satisfaction-research. This context of a conservative male breadwinner model appears conducive to gender inequality in the effects of divorce, particularly regarding economic consequences for women. An early study (Keith 1985) concluded that women were more satisfied with their financial status after separation than men. In these domains, several studies have reported that men were more vulnerable to the adverse effects of divorce, including larger health declines and lower subjective well-being after separation (Shor et al. Although studies have focused more on the reverse direction of this relationship (i.e., how gender roles in the home affect the risk of divorce), some have addressed the effects of divorce on the performance of housework. Sheets, V. L., & Braver, S. L. (1996). Figure 2 illustrates the consequences of divorce for housing and domestic outcomes. 2 (housing and domestic outcomes), Fig. Amsterdam, the Netherlands: Thela. (1999). Figure 3 illustrates the consequences of divorce for six measures of health, health behaviors, and well-being. Kalmijn, M., & Broese van Groenou, M. (2005). Mulder, C. H., & Wagner, M. (2012). An exploratory test. Dewilde, C. (2008). Kalmijn, M., & Uunk, W. (2006). 2015). Men experienced larger drops in satisfaction with life and particularly in satisfaction with family life observed in the year of divorce, but over the next years, the gender gap in these outcomes vanished. Three main findings emerged from the analysis. Moving out of home ownership in later life: The influence of the family and housing careers. Two-wave panel studies have shown that men substantially increased their time spent on routine housework after separation, whereas women moderately reduced their housework hours (Baxter et al. Social Science & Medicine, 34, 907–917. Annual Review of Sociology, 36, 139–157. I estimated all models separately for men and women to keep the model parsimonious and to retain information about gender differences in the level of the outcomes estimated for the reference period. As a result, divorce is expected to have a negative effect on the quality of family life of both spouses (Umberson and Williams 1993). After this exclusion, the divorce sample consisted of 1,222 individuals comprising 10,249 observations (person-years). A form of identity is lost during divorce. Homeownership in later life—Does divorce matter? The suicide risk for an unmarried man is 39 percent higher than that of a married man. New York, NY: McGraw-Hill. These competing hypotheses are not explicitly gendered: their main arguments apply equally to men and women. When both spouses agree to a divorce, they can apply for a divorce after an obligatory year of separation. None of the gender gaps in terms of health and well-being outcomes changed in meaningful ways when predivorce and postdivorce periods are compared. I removed observations outside an interval of 5 years before or after the year of divorce. Social Science & Medicine, 75, 46–59. I used the following restrictions to define the sample accordingly. Research has shown that these concerns may be warranted given that the effects of job loss on well-being were found to be stronger for men than for women (Leopold et al. To address this source of bias, I added two time-varying controls to my models. A second explanation highlights behavioral differences in the predivorce period. It also mirrors the finding that women are more likely to initiate divorce than men (Kalmijn and Poortman 2006). Journal of Divorce & Remarriage, 14, 33–46. Strohschein, L., McDonough, P., Monettec, G., & Qing, S. (2005). Journal of Marriage and Family, 77, 819–832. They suffer in both similar and different ways depending on their gender. Moreover, these losses are not easily compensated for given that interaction partners as well as social settings allowing to form new ties are not readily available to many divorcees. More than 40 % of men reported frequent or very frequent feelings of loneliness in this year, approximately double the share of women who felt lonely. A meta-analysis of parental satisfaction, adjustment, and conflict in joint custody and sole custody following divorce. Demographic Research, 36(article 12), 371–390. Three main findings emerged from the analysis. Unemployment and subjective well-being in Germany. Men are prone to deeper depressions and more likely to abuse substances after divorce. Differential effects of divorce on social integration. The effects of these recent changes are still modest, although women’s labor force participation and use of childcare are on the rise (Bröckel and Andress 2015). 2008). To address this limitation, with the present study, I aimed to offer a comprehensive view of gender differences in the consequences of divorce by tracing annual change in multiple measures covering four outcome domains: economic, housing and domestic, health and well-being, and social. Couples with children have a slightly lower rate of breaking up, but divorce impacts more than just the children. Self-rated health and mortality: A review of twenty-seven community studies. The quality of American life: Perceptions, evaluations, and satisfactions. Since often times women have custody of the children, they are responsible for more of the household and family expenses than men. Self-rated health and changes in self-rated health as predictors of mortality: First evidence from German Panel data (DIW Discussion Papers No. A recent comparative study indicated that in Germany, short-term effects are larger than medium-term effects: women’s incomes recovered in the years after divorce (de Vaus et al. However, gender differences in the effects of divorce on the probability of residential moves were relatively small and were significant only for women’s higher probability of moving 1 to 2 years after divorce (Table S5). The benefits of keeping a control sample were twofold. Marital transitions, marital beliefs, and mental health. Campbell, A., Converse, P. E., & Rodgers, W. (1976). 2011). Diener, E., Inglehart, R., & Tay, L. (2013). In line with this idea, more recent research has indicated that life satisfaction was lower among divorced men (Andress and Bröckel 2007) and that mortality following divorce increased only among men (Berntsen and Kravdal 2012; Shor et al. Horwitz, A. V., & Davies, L. (1994). Regional value differences in Europe and the social consequences of divorce: A test of the stigmatization hypothesis. Large differences of more than 20 percentage points were found for smoking behavior, with respondents from the divorce sample smoking more often than their counterparts who stayed married. 1999). It is a complex lens of distortion that manifests in different ways, dictating treatment approach. Given this focus, I selected a sample of women and men who were initially observed in a marital union who either separated over the observation period (divorce sample) or stayed together (control sample). Noncustodial parents—usually fathers—face the challenge of maintaining contact with their children (Vogt Yuan 2014). The finding of a converging gender gap is in line with other studies showing that although the division of labor is mostly stable across the life course, key transitions such as parenthood, divorce, and retirement lead to substantial and permanent changes (Gupta 1999; Kühhirt 2012; Leopold and Skopek 2015). Journal of Marriage and the Family, 62, 1269–1287. In the year of divorce, women lost approximately 40 % of their predivorce incomes, whereas their former husbands experienced moderate gains of approximately 5 %. 2014).
