Female Breadwinners More Likely to Divorce

Written by Pat's Papers | Friday, 10 September 2010 9:20 AM

Female breadwinners are far more likely to divorce their spouses than their cash-strapped counterparts says the New York Post. A 25-year study found that women who pull in at least 60 percent of a family’s income were 40 percent more likely to end a marriage. It’s a trend that plays out on both ends of the income spectrum. Financial security has something to do with it but experts say “bruised male egos” also play a part. The study’s lead author says he’d like to collect information again in about ten years to see how the next generation of women reacts to a family’s income disparity.
