Women have been marrying
later and divorcing more often.
The proportion of adult divorced
women has almost tripled, frora2.4
percent in 1950 to nearly 7 percent
in 1980.
Just over one-quarter of adult
women now head a household, up
15 percent from 1950. These
households account for an in
creasing proportion of those in
poverty. College enrollemnt is now
about the same for both sexes.
Although the proportion of female
college graduates more than
doubled in the 30 years, women
earn fewer professions! degrees
than men.
Women still earn only about two
thirds as much as men, and they
remain concentrated in
traditionally female jobs such as
