Divorce is a reaction that many wives feel from having to do the ‘triple shift’. Working-class men and women were less likely to marry. Rising divorce rates are due to growing individualisation. 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. arranged marriages tend to grow more stable over time while love marriages are more likely to deteriorate. Cohabitation is simply delaying marriage and is not the cause for the decline. 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. Social policies such as the Child Support Agency encourages lone-parenthood which damages marriage.
