Matching Pairs M, C & DOnline version Match the sociologist to what they say! by Olivia Gardner-Stanbridge 1 Sarah Corse et al. 2 Hart 3 Rector 4 Beck & Beck-Gernstein 5 Barlow and Duncan 6 Epstein 7 Berthoud 8 Murphy 9 Sue Sharpe 10 Patricia Morgan 11 Beaujouan and Ni Bhrolchain Working-class men and women were less likely to marry. Rising divorce rates are due to growing individualisation. 1970 -> marriage, husband, children. 1990 -> careers, being able to support themselves. Many people want a lavish wedding but are unable to afford it so would rather cohabit. Cohabitation is simply delaying marriage and is not the cause for the decline. Divorce is a reaction that many wives feel from having to do the ‘triple shift’. There may be a correlation between unmarried parents and children doing worse in school. ¾ of Bangladeshi and Pakistani women married by the time they were 25. Married men were more likely to be employed than cohabiting couples and earning 10-20% more. arranged marriages tend to grow more stable over time while love marriages are more likely to deteriorate. Social policies such as the Child Support Agency encourages lone-parenthood which damages marriage.
