Abstract: In light of changing gender norms and increased female labor force participation, this paper examines the factors associated with couples' income in marital households. It then considers how the correlates of the relative income contributions of husbands and wives have changed since 1970. Preliminary results suggest that spousal characteristics, own human capital investments, and family demographics are associated with relative income. Our initial, bivariate look at relative income suggests there are stark differences between couples who contribute about equally and couples in which wives or husbands contribute the bulk of income. |
