An abstract is required. A Study of Causes of Divorce amongst Working Women With “divorced” as the dependent variable and such factors as education level and financial status as the independent variables, the data analyzes the role that these two play in how long married women stay in their marriages. From the study, the more independent a woman gets, the more likely she is to get divorced1. The data goes on further to relate these two factors with the ages of women in which it establishes that the older a woman gets, the lower her chances of getting divorced.

The odds ratio from the study implies, however, that the higher the levels of education of a woman, the lower her chances are of getting divorced. From the data, the following list of odds ratio result is obtained: high school- 1.693647, college -1.652895, master -1.028654. The data does not, however, provide any explanation for this trend but this could be attributed to the fact that as the academic level progresses, so is the maturity of an individual and the understating of an individual.

Both the ages and the income levels of the women in the study are considered quantitative variables and are reflected as being inversely proportional to the rates of divorce cases.

The dx/dy discreet change of dummy variable from 0 to 1 shows that age and income are 0 .0008858 and 0 .0112576 respectively. This is to mean that age is lesser likely to cause a divorcee than income. Women of whichever age can stay peacefully with men of unknown age without the age difference being a hindrance but this would not be the case when financial stability comes into play.
