| Abstract: | This study focuses on the question of whether divorced women would experience the same absolute levels of economic well-being by staying married as women who remain married experience. The study also examines the argument that all woman are economically vulnerable once marriage ends by examining whether the average married woman would, if she were to divorce, experience the same low level of economic well-being as divorced women do. |
