| Abstract | The second half of the twentieth century saw tremendous changes in the economics of the household, as women entered the labor force in growing numbers and the share of dual-earners couples increased. These changes challenge the available theories which explain divorce by economic factors, as they are mostly molded in the homemaker-breadwinner model. In this study, we investigate the validity of two main groups of theories: one which asserts that women’s work has a destabilizing effect on marriage, and assumes asymmetry between the spouses; and another which states that women’s employment has a stabilizing effect, and assumes that relations between spouses are symmetric. By employing a large-scale longitudinal register-based data for the Jewish population in Israel, we find asymmetry in the effect of the spouses’ economic characteristics on marital instability, which suggest that theories that assert asymmetry and power relations between the spouses better explain transition to divorce among this group. In line with theories of income pooling, higher shared salaries are found to increase marital stability. Nonetheless, our results demonstrate that the basic assumption of symmetry between the spouses in these theories does not hold. Although employment stability for both spouses appears to reduce divorce risk, only the husband’s salary is shown to negatively affect the odds of divorce and only the wife’s working hours and sector of employment affect marriage instability. Moreover, couples in which the wife earns as much as or more than the husband are found to have the highest divorce risk.Des changements considérables ont été observés dans la situation économique des ménages au cours de la seconde moitié du 20e siècle avec l’entrée croissante des femmes sur le marché du travail et l’augmentation de la proportion de couples bi-actifs. Ces changements interpellent les théories existantes qui mettent en avant les facteurs économiques pour expliquer le divorce, car elles s’inscrivent dans le modèle personne au foyer – soutien de famille. Dans cet article, nous examinons la validité des deux principaux groupes de théories : le premier qui affirme que le travail des femmes est un facteur de déstabilisation du mariage et suppose une asymétrie entre conjoints, le second qui postule que le travail des femmes est un facteur de stabilisation et se base sur l’hypothèse que les relations entre conjoints sont symétriques. A partir de données longitudinales de registres concernant une large partie de la population juive en Israël, une asymétrie dans l’effet des caractéristiques économiques des conjoints sur l’instabilité conjugale est observée, ce qui laisse supposer que les théories qui considèrent une asymétrie et des relations de pouvoir entre les conjoints expliquent mieux la survenue du divorce dans ce groupe. Conformément à la théorie de mise en commun des revenus, des salaires partagés plus élevés augmentent la stabilité maritale. Néanmoins, nos résultats montrent que l’hypothèse de base de symétrie entre les époux dans ces théories n’est pas vérifiée. Bien que la stabilité de l’emploi pour les deux conjoints semble diminuer le risque de divorce, seul le salaire du mari affecte négativement les chances de divorce et seul le nombre d’heures de travail de la femme et le secteur d’activité ont un impact sur l’instabilité maritale. En outre, les couples où le salaire de la femme est similaire ou supérieur à celui du mari ont le risque de divorce le plus élevé. |
