TwitterAs of 2024, the divorce rate in China decreased to *** divorces per 1,000 inhabitants. Before 2020, this number had been constantly increasing since 2002. Divorce rate in Asian countries The divorce rate in China soared from around **** divorces per 1,000 people in 2000 to **** divorces in 2019. This is a quite high value compared to the divorce rate of countries in the Asia Pacific region. However, China shares the fate of a growing divorce rate with many other developing countries, while in most developed countries, the number of divorces per 1,000 inhabitants is either stable or falling. For example, the divorce rate in Singapore has been manly stable at *** divorces per 1,000 inhabitants in the last ten years and the divorce rate in South Korea has fallen from *** in 2009 to *** in 2024. In comparison, the U.S. divorce rate has been falling since 1992 from *** divorces per 1,000 people to *** divorces in 2022. Dating scene in China For the younger generations, dating and marriage happens (if at all) at a much later life stage compared to their parents. The fact that China has the highest working hours in the region does not ease the dire situation for singles in China, most of them being employed as professionals or employed in the media sector, where long working hours and high work pressure are quite common.

TwitterIn 2020, the number of divorces in France was 57,437. France had a divorce rate of 55 per 100 marriages in 2020. A number which was not one of the highest in Europe, but that emphasizes the fact that in recent years, divorce is a phenomenon with a significant impact on Western countries. The characteristics of French divorces Despite a record number of 152,020 separations in 2005, the number of divorces in France remained stable since the mid-2000s and has also been declining at a rate of 8 percent between 2004 and 2014.

TwitterUntil 1861 in Victoria, divorce was a matter for the ecclesiastical courts as it was in England until 1857 -1858. The Divorce and Matrimonial Causes Act 1861 conferred upon the Supreme Court of Victoria the jurisdiction in matters matrimonial and authority in certain cases to decree the dissolution of the marriage. This continued to be the case until the passing of the Commonwealth Family Law Act 1975.

The University of Arizona Divorce, Sleep, and Social Environment (DSE) Study was supported by a R01 grant from the National Institute of Child Health and Human Development (R01HD069498) and was designed to examine the associations between adults' psychological responses to marital separation, objectively-assessed sleep quality (via actigraphy) and daily social behaviors (assessed via the Electronically Activated Recorder, EAR), all of which were assessed at multiple occasions over 5 months. The base sample includes 140 participants in midlife (average age, 43 years) who were married for an average of 13 years and separated, on average, within the last 4 months. For various measures and timepoints, data is missing on about 13% of the sample. This is a study of individuals over time as they adapt to their marital separation and divorce. We collected self-reported data on five monthly assessments, and participants wore the EAR and sleep actigraphs on months 1,3, and 5. The EAR data is fully coded and includes the objective assessment of many daily social behaviors, including time spent alone, with others and/or socializing, time receiving social support, and time with an ex-partner.

This longitudinal study examined differences among families in the process of divorce and the meanings and experiences of it for individual family members. The families in the study were recruited through a search of public divorce dockets of five counties in the greater Boston area. Families for whom physical separation had occurred within the past six months, and for whom there was at least one child between the ages of six and 12 (who was designated the focus child for the study) were identified. The sample was followed up a year later in 1982. A total of 160 families initially participated in this study, with 142 followed up at Time 2. This sample included 127 mothers (110 at Time 2), 57 fathers (42 at Time 2), and 136 focus children (102 at Time 2). Most families were of European American descent and varied widely in terms of social class: the average sample family was lower-middle to middle class; about a fourth were working poor or unemployed; and a few were professionals. Parents who agreed to participate were sent a packet of questionnaires which assessed aspects of family structure and history, parents' own emotional, physical, and social adjustment, parenting style, and perceptions of the adjustment of the focus child. Parents and children were then interviewed separately. Parents were asked about various aspects of family life since the separation, the history of their marriage and the separation, their daily routine, and the personality, relationships, and experiences of the focus child. Children (both the focus child and other children in the family) were asked about their daily routines, family members, and their feelings about their parents' separation. After a break, they were administered several standard questionnaires. Parents were given a resource packet and were asked for permission to contact the children's teachers, who were sent the Teacher Form of the Achenbach Child Behavior Checklist. A subsample of mothers and children returned for a videotaped play/interaction session. Identical procedures were followed one year later at Time 2. The Murray Research Archive holds original record paper data from this study. Follow-up is not permitted.

TwitterHow many married couples are in the U.S.? In 2023, there were 62.18 million married couples in the United States. This is an increase from 40.2 million married couples in 1960. Marriage in the U.S. While the number of married couples in the U.S. has increased in the past few decades, this could very well just be due to population change, since while the U.S. population has been increasing, the marriage rate has decreased significantly since 1990. In addition, the divorce rate has almost halved since 1990 despite concerns that more people are getting divorced than in years past. Same-sex marriage in the U.S. After years of advocacy, same-sex marriage became legal in the United States in June 2015. The U.S. Supreme Court ruled that same-sex marriage was legal in a landmark ruling in the case of Obergefell v. Hodges. In 2015, a clear majority of Americans were in favor of the legalization of same-sex marriage, and approval has only been increasing in the years since.
