World Changes in Divorce PatternsThis book examines trends in divorce throughout the world, comparing previously inaccessible information on Asian and Arab countries and Eastern Europe, as well as data from Latin America, Western Europe, and the Anglo countries over the last four decades. It discusses are how divorce rates in different countries are affected by industrialisation, dictatorship, civic standards for nations, and easier divorce laws; the relations between divorce and such factors as age and class; the meaning of the worldwide rise in cohabitation; and why people are becoming less likely to remarry. |
