Abstract:
The ways in which partners manage their money provide important clues to gender inequality in and the nature of couple relationships. The research examines changes across cohorts in their household financial management, and how the changes vary across individuals and couples occupying differential income positions. The results show divergent, nuanced cohort trends toward gender equality in couples’ money management. Across successive cohorts of low-earning women, there has been a subtle relaxation in the form of male control, reflected in a decrease in the proportion of men adopting “back-seat” management by retaining the majority of the couple’s money while delegating the chore of managing daily expenses to their partners. The findings provide new insights into and important extensions of the theorization of gender relations in and the individualization of couple relationships.
