It's likely to have increased divorce rates - theoretically, women will be on the pill whilst single, get married and want to have children and then when they come off the pill, they'll find different people attractive. Unfortunately it's difficult to distinguish this hypothetical effect from social factors which lead to people taking in the pill in the first place, so correlation studies must be almost impossible to do correctly. EDIT: Looks like I might be completely wrong (although the caveat about hidden variables stands): "But an even bigger positive is what comes when we look at the divorce rate. Despite the whole my-sex-life-is-meh-and-I-am-not-that-attracted-to-my-partner thing, women who chose their partners when they were on the pill were significantly less likely to divorce than women who chose their partners when they were off it." https://behavioralscientist.org/quality-sex-relationships-birth-control-pill-research-effects/ https://behavioralscientist.org/quality-sex-relationships-bi...
