Abstract:
|
Do men and women’s income predict their propensity to marry, and if so, how do their gender role attitudes impact the relationship between income and entrance into marriage? To answer this question, I estimate discrete-time event history models with fixed effects using the National Longitudinal Study of Youth 1979. I find that employment and income are important predictors of marriage across white, Black, and Hispanic men and women. This similarity across these groups is striking, as opposed to previous research. For white women, gender role attitudes moderate the relationship between income and marriage, suggesting that income is a more reliable predictor of marriage among women who hold egalitarian attitudes. For other demographic groups, however, economic considerations are consistent predictors of marriage regardless of gender role attitudes. |

Test income results by breaking income into @5 categories (divide evenly not by number of cases in each category). c. Combine two “not attending” categories—problems with causal ordering. d.
