Hardship and Depression
Abstract
We argue that successfulfulfillment of husbands' and wives' role obligations in the household affects psychological well-being. Ongoing economic hardship-the inability to adequately feed, clothe, and provide medical care for the family-indicates unsuccessful fulfillment of both breadwinner and homemaker obligations. Using a national sample of married couples, we find that economic hardship is increased by low income, low education, being young, and having young children. Economic hardship, in turn, increases both spouses' depression levels. Other factors affect husbands and wives differently. A husband's personal earnings directly decrease his depression, because, we argue, his earnings indicate successful fulfillment of provider obligations. A wife's major role obligation is not provider, but homemaker. We find that a wife's personal earnings do not affect her depression, whereas her education and children do.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
