Data for: How the other half lived: Marriage and emancipation in the age of the Pill

Listed in Teesside University Research Data Repository

Abstract of associated article: The contraceptive Pill was FDA approved in 1960.

Description

However, it would be another decade before young unmarried women had full access. In the meantime, marriage constituted a way to the Pill.

The later 1960s/early 1970s also saw a convergence on 18 as the minimum age of marriage, many states lowering it from 21. Exploiting these law changes, we find that a lowered minimum age precipitated marriage, delayed marital fertility, and improved women׳s educational and occupational outcomes. Marriage easing credit constraints combined with the contraceptive properties of the Pill form the hypothesized pathway.
