“…Other studies have reported the opposite pattern, indicating that children from disadvantaged families suffered less from divorce than their privileged counterparts (Bernardi & Radl, 2014;Fischer, 2007). This evidence supports the notion of "divorce as an equalizer."…”

“…Most notable is the lack of findings on divorce-related changes in economic resources. Economic resources are considered a crucial mediator for the effects of family structure on child outcomes (Thomson & McLanahan, 1994, McLanahan & Sandefur, 1994Strohschein, 2012) and figure prominently in research on social inequality in the consequences of divorce for children (Bernardi & Radl, 2014;Fischer 2009;Mandemakers & Kalmijn, 2014). In the present study, we address this gap by focusing on educational differences in the effects of divorce on economic outcomes in mothers.…”

“…Yet, the expectations about heterogeneous outcomes at the level of children are based on contrasting assumptions about changes occurring at the level of parents. Most notably, parents' loss of resources, and socioeconomic differences herein, constitute a main mechanism mediating heterogeneous effects of divorce on child outcomes (Bernardi & Radl, 2014;Mandemakers & Kalmijn, 2014). Given their central role, the near absence of studies on parental resources represents an important gap in research about social inequality in the effects of divorce.…”

“…Accordingly, the focus has shifted from estimating average effects of divorce to heterogeneity in these effects (Augustine, 2014;Bernardi & Radl, 2014).…”

“…This expanding line of investigation is guided by the idea that divorce-related changes in the resources of parents -particularly of mothers -mediate the effects of divorce on children. To test this proposition, studies have examined whether divorce is more consequential for children of parents in higher or lower social positions (Augustine, 2014;Bernardi & Radl, 2014;Grätz, 2015;Fischer, 2007;Mandemakers & Kalmijn, 2014).…”

It is well established that parental divorce has deleterious effects on youth's outcome. As society has become more tolerant toward divorce, it is not clear whether or not parental divorce still affects youth negatively. Reviewing the latest literature on divorce, this entry sheds light on the effects of divorce. Specifically, it focuses on the effect of parental divorce on youth's outcome, including juvenile delinquency, substance and alcohol use, risky sexual behavior, and related youth problems.
