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