"An analysis of judicial separations (1969-1978) and divorces (1971-1978) in Italy is presented...with reference to the duration of marriage and the age of husband and wife, using...data collected by ISTAT (Italian Central Statistical Institute)." It is found that the risk of separation or divorce is greater for shorter marriage durations (3-6 years), for individuals who marry at younger ages, and for marriages performed during World War II.

"The position is defended which considers the changes in fertility, family formation and dissolution since the previous century as expressions of two separate transitions. The first corresponds with a period of increased qualitative aspirations within the nuclear family, whereas the second transition, carried by the postwar generations, is the expression of growing secular individualism and the preoccupation with self-fulfilment. This corresponds largely with the view held by the French historian Ph. Aries." The geographical focus is on developed countries, primarily non-Communist Europe. (SUMMARY IN ENG AND FRE)

"This paper attempts to discuss the general trends in the incidence of divorce among the Muslim population in Singapore since 1921 and the patterns of divorce in the 1980s when detailed statistics were made available.... The Singapore Muslims experienced an extremely high and steady incidence of divorce during the period up to 1958 when the procedures for processing divorce petitions were not well organised. Following the introduction of new legislation and the creation of the Syariah Court to handle marital disputes in 1958, there occurred an immediate and dramatic downturn in the rate of Muslim divorce. By 1970 the decline appeared to have stalled and a slight upturn has even taken place in the 1980s." The impact of rapid social and economic development is assessed. (SUMMARY IN FRE AND ITA)
"The development of the total divorce rate (the sum of the marriage-duration specific divorce rates) [in the Netherlands] in the years 1973-1992 can be explained by an index of consumer sentiments, viz. the index of the willingness to buy (lagged one year).... The index of the willingness to buy explains the strong increase of the divorce rate in the early 1980s, the decrease in the mid 1980s and the strong increase in 1992." (SUMMARY IN ENG)

Using data from US Bureau of the Census publications from the decennial censuses and the Bureau's Current Population Reports, the authors analyze remarriage in the US. Among adults who had ended their 1st marriage in divorce, about 3/4 of the elderly men and 2/3 of the elderly women in both 1970 and 1980 were found to be remarried. However, the general decline in remarriage at the younger ages during the 1970s was accentuated among those under 35 years old. Although the proportion remarried among women with graduate school training was the smallest, that proportion declined less during the 1970s than for women in any other educational level. In both 1970 and 1980, the proportion remarried was positively correlated with personal income for men but negatively for women. An estimated 2/3 of those who end their 1st marriage in divorce will eventually remarry while they have young children living with them. During the lifetime of women in their 2nd marriage after their 1st marriage ended in divorce, only 1/3 of their children are born after remarriage, whereas 2/3 are born before their 2nd marriages. During the 1970s, the proportion of currently divorced adults living alone or sharing the homes of relatives diminished, while the proportion living as cohabitants outside marriage rose substantially. It appears as if both the divorce rate and the remarriage rate are approaching a period of relative stability.
