Therefore, financial success seems to improve your odds of marital success - until you reach the upper echelons of wealth. College graduates, for example, only have a 30% divorce rate, and one study showed couples with no assets are 70% more likely to divorce at the end of a three-year period than couples with at least $10,000 in assets. The data tells us that upper-middle-class couples are far less likely to divorce than the population as a whole. When we look exclusively at couples who don't have added stress of financial hardship, it's clear that the wealthiest couples face greater odds of marital breakdown. ![]() That doesn't seem too far off from the average divorce rate in the U.S., which is between 40% and 50%, until we look at above-average income earners as a segment.

In this timely volume, Zhu and Xiao offer an examination of the ways in which Chinese feminist ideas have developed since the mid-1990s. These trends have brought Chinese women unprecedented choices, resources, opportunities, pitfalls, challenges, and even crises. In the decades that followed, three distinct trends emerged: first, there was a rise in feminist NGOs in mainland China and a surfacing of LGBTQ movements second, social and economic developments nurtured new female agency, creating a vibrant, women-oriented cultural milieu in China third, in response to ethnocentric Western feminism, some Chinese feminist scholars and activists recuperated the legacies of socialist China’s state feminism and gender policies in a new millennium.
