520 |a"This study analyzes 24 years of Canadian divorce data, from 1970 through 1993, focusing on three time periods (1970-72, 1980-82, and 1990-92) and three age groups (15-29, 30-64, and 65-87). Information not previously available is provided about divorce at older ages. Also, newly-available counts of the legally married population are used to provide a more precise picture of trends in divorce rates. The results show that, except for a peak in 1987 after liberalization of divorce laws in 1985, the general trend over the 24 years has been for the divorce rate to increase gradually, with rates in recent years vacillating relatively slightly. Divorce rates increase with age from 15 to about 29, and then decrease with age. For people in the oldest age group, marriages ending in divorce last either a short time (2 years for men in 1990-92) or a long time (42 years). The probability of getting a divorce, given that the marriage has already lasted a certain number of years, increases rapidly for the first few years after marriage, peaking at five years and decreasing thereafter"--Abstract.
