Research shows that a sudden lottery windfall increases marriage and fertility for men, but temporarily raises short-term divorce risks for women. Read Full Article #LotteryImpact #MarriageFertility #DemographyResearch
• 💰 A study of nearly 77,000 Swedish lottery players found that sudden financial windfalls increase marriage likelihood for men by about 30%, while temporarily increasing divorce risk for women by nearly 4 percentage points over a two-year period.
• 👨👩👧👦 Wealth increases children born over ten years, with male winners having an average of 0.056 more children per 1 million SEK won. Researchers estimate it takes roughly 30 million SEK (around $4 million) in windfall wealth per additional child.
• ⚖️ The research suggests that women's increased divorce risk after a windfall may be due to financial independence enabling them to leave already-troubled marriages, while men's marriages appear more stable with wealth.
