Union dissolution has severe consequences for women's economic well-being. Theoretical work links these consequences to ethnic inequality. Ethnic groups vary in terms of separation rates, female employment, repartnering trajectories, kin support, and reliance on welfare benefits. The current study examines whether ethnicity moderates the dissolution penalty. To do so, the authors draw on register data, covering women from five major ethnic groups in the Netherlands: Dutch, Antillean, Surinamese, Moroccan, and Turkish. The authors describe women's income trajectories from 1 year before to 5 years after union dissolution. Using decomposition techniques, changes in household income are decomposed into changes in six underlying income sources (i.e., earnings, benefits, alimony, partner income, and coresident family income). The results show that ethnicity moderates the dissolution penalty and, especially, the contribution of the various income sources when recovering from dissolution.
婚姻关系解体对女性的经济福祉有着严重影响。理论研究将这些影响与种族不平等联系起来。不同种族在分居率、女性就业、再婚轨迹、亲属支持以及对福利补贴的依赖程度等方面存在差异。当前的研究考察了种族是否会缓和婚姻解体带来的不利影响。为此，作者利用了登记数据，这些数据涵盖了荷兰五个主要种族的女性：荷兰人、安的列斯人、苏里南人、摩洛哥人和土耳其人。作者描述了女性从婚姻关系解体前1年到解体后5年的收入轨迹。运用分解技术，将家庭收入的变化分解为六个基本收入来源的变化（即收入、补贴、赡养费、伴侣收入以及同住家庭成员的收入）。结果表明，种族会缓和婚姻解体带来的不利影响，尤其是在从解体状态恢复过程中各种收入来源的贡献方面。
