“…In societies where cohabitation is prevalent and institutionalized, one might expect cohabiting couples to treat their financial resources similarly to the way married couples do, integrating their finances instead of keeping economic resources separately. Yet, existing research shows that married couples are more likely than cohabitors to pool money into a shared family pot across various contexts (Hamplová & Le Bourdais, 2009;Hamplová et al, 2014;Heimdal & Houseknecht, 2003;Hiekel et al, 2014;Kenney, 2004Kenney, , 2006Lyngstad, Noack, & Tufte, 2011;Vogler, Brockmann, & Wiggins, 2006). Across welfare regimes (Esping-Andersen, 1999), cohabiting couples tend to keep their money separate more often than married couples (Hamplová & Le Bourdais, 2009;Präg et al, 2019).…”

“…Pooling and managing resources together may be gender egalitarian or inegalitarian, depending on the underlying power balance within the couple and in the wider society (Hu, 2019;Tichenor, 1999;Treas, 1993;Vogler, 1998;Vogler & Pahl, 1994). Existing research tends to emphasize integration differences between cohabiting and married couples', the "cohabitation-marriage gap" (Hamplová & Le Bourdais, 2009;Hamplová, Le Bourdais, & Lapierre-Adamcyk, 2014;Hiekel, Liefbroer, & Poortman, 2014;Präg, Begall, & Treas, 2019); or attend to variation in the management of money among married couples (Lauer and Yodanis 2011; Lauer 2007a, 2007b). A multi-dimensional approach which accounts for issues of both access to and control over money is important to understanding cross-national variation in the gender revolution and family dynamics (Altintas & Sullivan, 2016;Goldscheider, Bernhardt, & Lappegård, 2015).…”

Using data from the 2012 International Social Survey Program (ISSP) (n = 8,269), this study investigated cohabiting and married couples’ integration and management of income across 20 countries with varying degrees of gender inequality. We find that the cohabitation—marriage gap in income arrangements is largest when national-level gender equality is high. In more gender equal contexts, married couples were more likely to pool and manage their money together, whereas in countries with high gender inequality a larger proportion of married couples assigned one money manager. Cohabiting couples were more likely to keep some money separate than to take-up a pooled, jointly managed approach in more gender equal countries. This pattern was not moderated by income equality within couples. This study demonstrates the need to consider both management and pooling dimensions of couples’ treatment of money to understand the influence of contextual factors.

“…As couples separate, they lose economies of scale and may face additional costs. Whereas this applies to both married and cohabiting couples, the effects may be weaker for cohabiting couples as they are less likely to have shared bank accounts (Hiekel et al 2014) or shared home ownership (Mulder and Wagner 2001).…”

“…Os casais com união informal tendem a manejar as fi nanças de forma mais individualizada, tendo contas bancárias separadas, e os casais que são casados legalmente apresentam maior tendência a manejar as fi nanças de forma compartilhada e a terem contas conjuntas. Tal manejo das fi nanças indica que quanto maior é o nível de comprometimento na relação afetiva, maior será a troca/ diálogo sobre as fi nanças (Hiekel, Liefbroer, & Poortman, 2014;Van der Lippe, Voorpostel, & Hewitt, 2014;Vogler et al, 2006). Considerando a relação inerente entre dinheiro e conjugalidade, o objetivo deste estudo foi realizar uma revisão sistemática da produção científi ca sobre tal relação, a fi m de verifi car o que e como o tema do dinheiro na conjugalidade tem sido investigado e qual foi o conhecimento produzido na última década.…”

ResumoEste artigo objetivou realizar uma revisão sistemática da literatura nacional e internacional da produção científi ca existente sobre a temática dinheiro e conjugalidade no período de 2004 a 2014. Foram consultadas as bases de dados PsycINFO, Scientifi c Electronic Library Online (SciELo), Periódicos Eletrônicos de Psicologia (PePSIC) e Periódicos Capes e a busca foi realizada por juizes independentes com a utilização dos descritores "money AND marital fi nances"; "money AND couples"; "money AND marital interaction"; "money AND marital relationship"; "money AND marital confl ict"; "couples AND meaning of money"; "couples AND economic psychology"; "couples AND management of money"; "couples AND fi nancial problems"; "couples AND use of money". A busca gerou o resultado de 1.116 artigos. Para a análise, foram excluídos artigos repetidos, teses, dissertações, resumos e trabalhos que não relacionavam dinheiro e conjugalidade, totalizando 41 artigos. Os resultados revelaram que os confl itos relacionados ao dinheiro ocorrem com mais intensidade no início do casamento e no que antecede a aposentadoria, que os desacordos fi nanceiros são fortes preditores para o divórcio e que o manejo do dinheiro está relacionado com aspectos afetivos e satisfação conjugal.Palavras-chave: Dinheiro, conjugalidade, revisão sistemática.
