| Abstract: | Data from nine West European countries show that women have become increasingly left-wing compared to men, and that trend is positively correlated with the rise of nonmarriage in these countries. Analysis of public spending data for high-income OECD countries (1980-1998) suggests that the political impact of nonmarriage extends to the allocation of State resources with increases in nonmarriage first reducing, and then increasing, State redistribution towards children. |
