"This article studies continued childbearing and union stability among 'power couples', or dual-career couples. The determinants of these events are analyzed multivariately using longitudinal data on couples from population registers in Sweden, 1991-2005. Power couples are identified using their levels and fields of education, and their sectors of employment. Income and other variables are controlled for. The results show that power couples are more likely to continue childbearing, and are less likely to separate, than other couples. This implies that, despite the expected higher opportunity costs of childbearing and the small gains to specialization, power couples who start families are able to combine career and continued childbearing."
