Title |
Trends in the intergenerational transmission of divorce |
Date |
1999 |
Description |
Numerous researchers have shown that the children of divorce are disproportionately likely to end their own marriages (e.g., Amato 1996; Amato and Booth 1991; Bumpass, Martin, and Sweet 1991; Glenn and Kramer 1987; Kulka and Weingarten 1979; McLanahan and Bumpass 1988; Mueller and Pope 1977; Pope and Mueller 1976). These studies span 20 years, a period in which the divorce rate rose appreciably. Social acceptance of divorce has also increased. These developments may have altered the relationship between parental divorce and offspring divorce. Using data from all years of the NORC General Social Survey (GSS) except 1972,1 I examine trends in the intergenerational transmission of divorce over the last 25 years. |
