我使用收入和项目参与调查（N = 16,756）来衡量美国婚姻解体率的趋势。S.按教育程度分列的妇女。在20世纪70年代中期至90年代的婚姻队列中，拥有4年制大学学位或以上的女性婚姻解体率下降，但在不到4年制大学学位的女性中仍然很高。这种分化趋势始于1970年代中期，不能用最近妇女总体教育程度的提高来解释，也不能用最近结婚年龄和婚前生育的增加来解释。这些结果表明，社会经济劣势和家庭不稳定之间的联系越来越大。
I use the Survey of Income and Program Participation (N = 16,756) to measure trends in marital dissolution rates for U. S. women by education level. In marriage cohorts from the mid-1970s to the 1990s, marital dissolution rates fell among women with a 4-year college degree or more, but remained high among women with less than a 4-year college degree. This diverging trend began in the mid-1970s and is not explained by recent increases in women's overall educational attainment, nor by recent increases in age at marriage timing and premarital childbearing. These results suggest a growing association between socioeconomic disadvantage and family instability.
