The heterogeneous economic results of divorce have received limited attention. The current study analyzes such consequences from an intersectionality perspective, where heterogeneity is expressed not only in gender groups, but also in the locations of women and men on the earnings distribution scale. We also examine whether remarriage and welfare support have differing effects on income across these groups. The study uses a unique dataset in Israel that merges administrative data from the tax authorities (employment income and pensions) with the National Insurance Institute database (socio-demographic information and allowances). Applying two-level (“mixed”) panel models combined with quantile regressions, we investigate the post-divorce income of women and men by tertile, as well as in the top percentile of each gender group. Results show that the most vulnerable group among men is low income, while the most immune group of men is very high income. For women, however, differences between classes are small; across the board, women’s post-divorce income decreases by at least a third. Thus, while the effect of divorce on men’s income depends upon their earnings level, its effect on women’s income is negative even in the top percentile. Remarriage has a differential effect on income based on location on the income distribution scale only for men. The welfare policy effect on income is gendered: regardless of earnings group, allowances are negatively related to income for women and positively related for men.

特权阶级总是赢吗?收入和性别群体离婚的经济后果

离婚的异质经济结果受到的关注有限。当前的研究从交叉性的角度分析了这种后果,其中异质性不仅表现在性别群体中,而且表现在收入分配尺度上的女性和男性位置上。我们还研究了再婚和福利支持是否对这些群体的收入产生了不同的影响。该研究使用了以色列的一个独特数据集,该数据集将来自税务机关(就业收入和养老金)的行政数据与国家保险协会数据库(社会人口信息和津贴)合并。应用两级(“混合”)面板模型与分位数回归相结合,我们按三分位数以及每个性别组的最高百分位数调查了女性和男性的离婚后收入。结果显示,男性中最脆弱的群体是低收入群体,而最免疫的男性群体是收入非常高的群体。然而,对于女性来说,阶级之间的差异很小;总体而言,女性离婚后的收入至少减少了三分之一。因此,虽然离婚对男性收入的影响取决于他们的收入水平,但它对女性收入的影响即使在最高百分位也是负面的。再婚对收入的影响因位置而异,仅适用于男性的收入分配规模。福利政策对收入的影响是性别化的:不管收入群体如何,津贴与女性的收入呈负相关,与男性的收入呈正相关。总体而言,女性离婚后的收入至少减少了三分之一。因此,虽然离婚对男性收入的影响取决于他们的收入水平,但它对女性收入的影响即使在最高百分位也是负面的。再婚对收入的影响因位置而异,仅适用于男性的收入分配规模。福利政策对收入的影响是性别化的:不管收入群体如何,津贴与女性的收入呈负相关,与男性的收入呈正相关。总体而言,女性离婚后的收入至少减少了三分之一。因此,虽然离婚对男性收入的影响取决于他们的收入水平,但它对女性收入的影响即使在最高百分位也是负的。再婚对收入的影响因位置而异,仅适用于男性的收入分配规模。福利政策对收入的影响是性别化的:不管收入群体如何,津贴与女性的收入呈负相关,与男性的收入呈正相关。
