All the Single Ladies: Job Promotions and the Durability of Marriage
研究晋升至高层职位如何影响离婚概率,发现晋升使女性离婚概率翻倍,但对男性无显著影响,且离婚集中在性别传统观念较强的夫妻中。
We study how promotions to top jobs affect the probability of divorce. We compare the relationship trajectories of winning and losing candidates for mayor and parliamentarian and find that a promotion to one of these jobs doubles the baseline probability of divorce for women, but not for men. We also find a widening gender gap in divorce rates for men and women after being promoted to CEO. An analysis of possible mechanisms shows that divorces are concentrated in more gender-traditional couples, while women in more gender-equal couples are unaffected.
