Summary View help for Summary
The purpose of this data collection was to identify the causes of marital instability throughout the life course. The principal investigators were interested in directly linking changes in items such as economic resources, wife's employment, presence of children, marital satisfaction, life goals, and health to divorce, permanent separation, and other actions intended to dissolve a marriage. Background variables on respondents include age, sex, educational attainment, marital status and history, number of children, religious affiliation, and income level. Information also is supplied on relationship with in-laws, size of home, parents' employment, use of free time, club membership, child care arrangements, and responsibility for chores.
