Abstract
- This paper examines the probabilities of first marriage dissolution in Canada, using the marital history data collected from a national sample of women in their reproductive years. It is found that age at marriage, year of marriage, cohabitation before marriage, a premarital birth or conception, urban-rural place of residence, and religiosity are all significantly correlated with marriage dissolution. Religion and education, on the other hand, do not seem to affect the marriage dissolution probabilities when other factors are controlled. Canadian patterns are not too different from patterns in the United States. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
