Socio-economic status and divorce in first marriage in Finland 1991-93
By: Jalovaara, Marika.
Subject(s): Population study | Demography | Divorce risk In: Population Studies: a journal of demography 55(2)Summary: Various studies report an inverse association between socio-economic status and the risk of marital disruption. Using register-based follow-up data on first marriages in Finland intact at the end of 1990 & divorces in 1991-93 (n=21 309), this study aimed at gaining a better understanding of socio-economic differentials in divorce risk by disentangling the influences of various aspects of the socio-economic status of the spouses. Indicators of socio-economic status include each spouse's education, occupational class, economic actiivity, & income as well as housing tenure & housing desity. When examined individually, divorce risk was inversely associated with socio-economic status from all its various indicators except wife's income. All of these factors had an independent effect on divorse risk. The effect was, however, weak for the spouses' occupational rankings & housing density, & it was positive for the wife's income. Given the multifaceted nature of these socio-economic differentials, it appears unlikely that one signle explanation could account for them all.| Item type | Current location | Call number | Status | Date due | Barcode |
