Money wasn\u2019t the prevailing reason behind why children of divorce were less likely to attend college. To arrive at this conclusion, researchers compared the effect of divorce with the effects of parental job loss.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"shareable\" data-share-hover=\"true\" data-share-modprefix=\"mw_pullquote_\" data-share-text=\"The younger a child was when her parents divorced, the less likely she was to get into a university. \"><p>&#13;<br \/>\n                  The younger a child was when her parents divorced, the less likely she was to get into a university. &#13;<\/p>\n<footer>&#13;<br \/>\n                  <\/footer>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>The researchers found that parental job loss did cause a significant, long-term reduction in household income. Despite this, these children weren\u2019t notably less likely to be admitted to college, nor was the job loss predictive of the family dissolving.<\/p>\n<p>Consequently, the researchers argued that the data suggest children with divorced parents are less likely to go to college because of psychological, and not financial, reasons. \u201cNon-economic mechanisms, such as psychological and emotional shocks, are more likely dominant,\u201d the researchers wrote.<\/p>\n<p> <strong>Also see:<\/strong> <a href=\"http:\/\/www.marketwatch.com\/story\/women-and-men-reveal-the-financial-and-emotional-costs-of-their-affairs-2019-03-05\" class=\"icon none\">\u2018Divorce is like going through a terrible recession\u2019<\/a> <\/p>\n<p>Children are more likely to face psychological issues such as anxiety, anger and disbelief in the first year after a divorce.
