| Abstract: | In 1965, Daniel Moynihan asserted that unemployment, in general, and its interaction with the matriarchal structure of black families was a major cause of the "crumbling" of the Negro family. Moynihan did not address the relation of unemployment and marital instability in white families. This study examines the relationship between unemployment and marital instability in black and white families over the period 1970-1978. The theoretical framework emphasizes that the effects of unemployment on the family cannot be understood in purely utilitarian terms, i. e. lost income. |
