- Abstract
This study analyzes the relationship between unemployment and the risk of marital separation. In addition, possible changes in the effect of unemployment since the mid-eighties as well as the duration of unemployment are examined. The data base is the German Socio-Economic Panel, which provides data from 1984 to 2010. The results indicate a higher risk of separation if a spouse, especially the husband, is unemployed. In respect of the length of unemployment, it is shown that both short and longer periods of men's unemployment destabilize marriage. Highest risk of separation appears for men who are without a job for between one and two years. Furthermore, this study suggests that the influence of men's unemployment on the risk of separation is significantly lower in the period from 2000 to 2010 than in the late 1980s.
