Marriage and the Economy : Theory and Evidence from Advanced Industrial Societies
Editorial Reviews
Review
'Marriage and the Economy is a fascinating book ... much interest for a general audience'. INTAMS
'... this will be a helpful source for family researchers.' Josef Bruderl, University of Mannheim, Germany
'... this book provides a comprehensive and up-to-date overview of economic theories employed in studies of marriage and divorce and the empirical results emerging from this field of research. The largely nontechnical presentations should be accessible to those without the skills of a highly specialized economist. This may be the greatest benefit of the book: its potential contribution to increasing general awareness and knowledge concerning issues related to marriage and divorce.' Feminist Economics
Book Description
This book examines the impact of marriage on labor force participation, productivity at work, savings, government programs, and many other aspects of the economy. Lawmakers, legal scholars, sociologists, psychologists, spiritual leaders and all concerned with threats to the institution of marriage and the values that it embodies benefit from this reexamination of a basic Western institution via the lens of professional economists.
