Wang-Sheng Lee: Age gaps and marital satisfaction

From Sunday Morning, 11:40 am on 27 November 2022

Age gap relationships can raise eyebrows. In Western countries, around 8% of male-female couples have an age-gap of 10 years or more. That rises to 25% in male-male unions and 15% with female-female relationships. What might research tell us about martial satisfaction in such relationships? 

Professor Wang-Sheng Lee has studied age gaps, he's an economist with Monash University's Centre for Development Economics and Sustainability.
