If you think women still gain more economic benefit than men do from marriage,you may be living in the past. Today,men are better off economically because their wives are,too,suggests a new study on the (36) economics of marriage by the Pew Research Center. It shows women’s education and earnings advancements are (37) translating into overall improvement for men.
    " Marriage is a different (38) deal than it was 40 years ago," says Pew economist Richard Fry. "Typically,most wives did not work,so for economic well-being, guys are made to (39) suffer with more mouths to feed but no (40) extra income. Now most wives work. For guys,the economics of marriage have become much more beneficial. "
    Pew used Census data from 1970 and 2007 to (41) compare U. S. -born married people ages 30-44—ages when " typical adults have (42) completed their education,gone to work and gotten married". The data show more women than men today have college degrees. Also , women’s (43) earnings grew 44% from 1970 to 2007, compared with 6% for men. (44) Although men still make more on average, women’s sharper gains have narrowed the gap.
    But economist Betsey Stevenson says Pew’s analysis is too limited. " What they’re raising is really an important question: Who has benefited more from increasing earnings of women in the labor market?" (45) But she says the study doesn’t look at other benefits,including who spends more within families. " Simply comparing earnings and educational attainment is not a very illuminating way to answer that question. "
    However, (46) she admits the study does provide further evidence that one-breadwinner marriages are being replaced with marriages of more equal market producers.
