“…Using these criteria, nine of the studies I reviewed focused on underrepresented populations. Jones ( 2010 ) and Jang and Danes ( 2016 ) studied couples who were racially/ethnically intermarried. Oshio et al ( 2013 ) used data from the General Social Surveys in Korea, Japan, and China.…”

“…Other studies examined family structure issues, without focusing on financial outcomes or predictors. For example, Jones ( 2010 ) assessed the stability of interracial marriages and found that most stability differences between interracial marriages and racially homogenous marriages attenuated after controlling for demographic characteristics. Kendall ( 2011 ) found no difference across state level divorce rates based on their level of broadband internet penetrations.…”

I reviewed the 36 marriage and cohabitation studies from the Journal of Family and Economic Issues articles published between 2010–2019. Nearly all of the studies used quantitative methods, and two-thirds of them used publicly available nationally-representative data. The studies fell into roughly five, unevenly sized groups: family structure, relationship quality, division of labor/employment, money management, and an “other” category. Suggestions for future research include applying some of the important questions within the articles to underrepresented groups, further examining the process of how finances and relationship quality interrelate and doing more applied and translational research.

“…Researchers have long hypothesized that certain social variables-such as socioeconomic status (Bumpass et al, 1991;Fu, 2006;Fu, 2000), nativity (Zhang & Van Hook, 2009), cohabitation history (Bramlett & Mosher, 2002;Jones, 2010), religion (Kalmijn et al, 2005), and family background (Bumpass et al, 1991)-are associated with interracial divorce. However, these variables do not fully explain why interracial marriages are more likely to divorce than same-race marriages.…”

This study examines how social support is related to divorce among interracial couples in Louisiana. Using longitudinal, couple-level data from the Marriage Matters Survey, we analyze how measures generally associated with divorce (e.g., couple-level characteristics, individual characteristics, and premarital events) operate similarly within interracial and same-race unions, and whether these measures moderate the relationship between social support and divorce among interracial couples. Results indicate that interracial marriages are not more likely to divorce than same-race unions, and lacking social support does not predict divorce for any marriage. Irrespective of marriage type, premarital counseling reduces the odds of divorce, while marriages with women who had more education than their husband and who cohabitated with someone other than their husband prior to marriage increase the likelihood of divorce. This study contributes towards understanding the mechanisms associated with interracial divorce and questions the claim that interracial marriages are less stable than same-race marriages.

“…Studies have focused on physical and cultural traits, such as age (Choo, 2015;Choo and Siow, 2006); education (Jones, 2010); height, intelligence and religion (Kalmijn et al, 2005); race and ethnicity (Bratter andKing, 2008, Feng et al, 2012;Frimmel et al, 2012); income and body mass index (Chiappori et al, 2012). Inter-ethnic marriages have been considered in the migration literature, in order to understand the process of assimilation (Algan et al, 2012;Constant and Zimmermann, 2008;Constant et al, 2009;Meng and Gregory, 2005).…”

This paper studies the resilience of inter-ethnic marriages in Italy through the lenses of marriage duration by means of survival and treatment-effect analyses. Our main findings are that inter-ethnic marriages have a significantly higher risk of separation even when we control for social and economic characteristics of the spouses; however, when we restrict the analysis to more recent marriages, we observe that co-and inter-ethnic marriages converge in longevity. Finally, we find evidence of self-selection into inter-ethnic marriages. Overall our findings points to a society that is becoming increasingly open to cultural and ethnic diversity, as well as more secular.
