Married at the Age of 30 Make Women More Successful?

Marriage is the eagerly anticipated by both men and women. In addition to career, marriage is also regarded as the achievement of life by many people. But a study suggests that delaying marriage may be beneficial for women.

Researchers from the University of Virginia conducted a study in which educated women marry at the age of 30. They found that most women who get married at that age have 56 percent more income than women who married at the age of 20.

Instead, the man who first married at age of 20 it is known to have a greater income than those who were married at the age of 30, regardless of their education level.

Currently, researchers found a trend of delaying marriage in the community. In 1990, the average age of marriage is 23 years for females and 26 years for men. While the current average age of marriage is 27 years for females and 29 years for men.

While women are delaying marriage appears to benefit from the decision, men who marry early are even more likely to succeed. Researchers consider the child's birth affects it.

Female university graduates who married at age of 20 usually have children soon so they had to let go of their careers and no longer able to achieve success in a career, as reported by the Daily Mail (20/03).

While men who marry younger would have a better career rise. Most likely because married men are more confident than those who are not married. This will impact on their productivity.

Still, not all women are delaying marriage likely success. Researchers found that this does not apply to women who drop out of school or college graduation. They found that 83 percent of American babies born to unmarried mothers.

This study also shows that delaying marriage took part in decreasing the amount of divorces since 1980. Couples who get married at age of 20 are usually more likely to divorce than couples who married at older ages.
