本研究探讨了性别家庭角色和离婚之间的关系在荷兰。这种关系的文化和经济方面的区别。经济学假说认为，如果妇女为报酬工作，并拥有有吸引力的劳动力市场资源，离婚的可能性就会增加。文化假说认为，离婚的机会增加，如果妇女坚持解放规范，独立于其劳动力市场的地位。对1 289名荷兰妇女的生活史调查的事件史分析揭示了这两种假设的证据。互动效应也被发现：传统的有偿劳动分工的保护作用只存在于妻子具有传统性别态度的夫妇中。因此，离婚的经济解释的有效性取决于文化价值。
This study examines the relationship between gendered family roles and divorce in The Netherlands. Cultural and economic aspects of this relationship are distinguished. Economic hypotheses argue that the likelihood of divorce is increased if women work for pay and have attractive labor market resources. Cultural hypotheses argue that divorce chances are increased if women adhere to emancipatory norms, independent of their labor market positions. An event-history analysis of a life-history survey among 1,289 Dutch women reveals evidence for both hypotheses. Interaction effects are found as well: The protective effect of a traditional division of paid labor is only present among couples in which wives have traditional gender attitudes. Hence, the validity of economic explanations of divorce is conditional on cultural values.
