It is my belief that the increase in divorce rates can be attributed to women joining the workforce. No, I do not have anything against women working, making money, voting or anything of the sort. I am merely stating what I believe to be a statistical truth.
In the 1950's, women typically stayed home while their husbands went to work. The woman cooked, cleaned, looked after the children, and took care of her man. The woman's place in society was the home, and the man was the provider.
The 1950's Workplace
As we have seen in shows like Mad Men or Boardwalk Empire, most workplaces were made up of married men and single women. The married men held all of the important positions while the women held secretarial positions. Men were in charge and what a great feeling that must have been. They made enough money to provide for their families, and everybody was happy. The women knew that their men would take care of them.
The 21st Century Workplace
Nowadays, there are all sorts of people in the workplace. There are married men, married women, divorced men and women, and single men and women. Men are no longer the only ones in charge. Many companies have women in executive positions. Consequently, the home also looks very different from what it looked like in the 50's. Homes are made up of single mothers, single fathers and diminishing married couples.
Reality Check
Regardless of how sophisticated and evolved we all feel we are, the reality is that we still have primitive urges. Men want to take care of their women. And yes, women want to be taken care of by their men. It doesn't matter how much money a woman makes, at the end of the day she wants to feel protected. This is why marriages where the woman makes more money than her husband do not last.
If women had not entered the workplace, men would still be in charge. Men would be the bread winners and women would feel protected and marriages would truly last "til death do us part".
Women and Salaries
A pie can only be divided into so many pieces. With more and more women entering the workplace, the slices of pie are getting smaller and smaller. Therefore, men can no longer command the large salaries that they enjoyed in the past. Furthermore, households can no longer be sustained by one income. The increased population of women in the workplace means that the salary a man once enjoyed by himself must now be shared with a woman. For example, in the past a man earned $50,000 per year and could provide for his family. Now, the same salary is split in half ($25,000 for the man and $25,000 for the woman), and neither can sustain a household individually.
All of this leads to the fact that as more women enter the workplace the more it hurts the institution of marriage. Men can no longer be providers like they used to be. Men can no longer take care of their women and children. Consequently, a woman begins to feel that her man is weak. So, what does she do? She looks for a man who can provide for her and give her the feeling of security that all women crave. Where do they find these men? They find these men in the workplace.
Competition
The workplace offers a woman the opportunity to meet a man who can provide for her the way her husband can't. In the workplace, a woman is exposed to all sorts of men. She meets powerful executives, men who are business owners and men who have all of the qualities that her husband lacks. So, she becomes less happy with her husband and the marriage suffers. What she fails to realize is that the man she is attracted to at work is married and has similar problems with his wife.
Had women stayed in the home, divorce rates would not be as alarmingly high as they are now. A man would still be able to provide for his wife and his children. A woman would enjoy the feeling of being protected, and a man would revel in his place as the "man of the house."
Solution
The only solution is to do away with the institution of marriage. Marriages can't function the way they used to. All of the factors that made marriages a success in the past have changed. However, the inherent expectations that men and women have of their mates through marriage haven't changed. As long as our primitive desires remain intact, then the institution of marriage will never succeed in our current society.
