Three of those are about employed vs unemployed, not how much you earn. Compairing nil to n rather than n1 to n2.
The last one, that actually might have said something about earnings vs divorce is a study done from 1957–1964. A fairly different time for women in the workplace, and male-female relationships in general.
- belorn 9y agoThe quote above describe part time vs full, which incidentally is also what the pay gap compare in the article. If we exclude unemployment, part time and overtime then we don't get a pay gap between spouses and the 10-year baby window is irrelevant for discussion. It all falls on comparing the total income of one individual to that of an other, from the range of nil to n, and attribute the pattern to a social concept. One do not have to believe that the breadwinner model exist as a gender role, or that the pay gap exist, but then discussing them together becomes moot. There is no study to show that spouses which have the same education, same experience, same job, put in the same number of hours with the same responsibilities have different pay. No such apple to apple comparison exist.
