description Roman Catholic religious orders of women have been losing a significant portion of their membership. A national survey of orders shows that women with different levels of education are likely to leave different kinds of orders. The effects of change in order governance, size of order and educational level of order are shown to differentially predict the rates of leaving of women with and without graduate education. The differences in rates of leaving by education are attributed to division of labor, tolerance of rapid social change and relative social support.
