Implication

Cohort analysis finds increased marital dissolution rates among younger and nonreligious couples in Canada, highlighting substantial socioeconomic heterogeneity in marital survival.

Key Points

Identify the key demographic and socioeconomic correlates of marital dissolution and evaluate marital survival trends across different marriage cohorts.
Analyzed retrospective marriage histories from the Canadian Fertility Survey.
Conducted cohort analyses by age and marriage year using hazard models to evaluate demographic and socioeconomic covariates.
Probabilities of dissolution within the first 10 years of marriage increased significantly, particularly among younger and more recent marriage cohorts.
Elevated separation risk was associated with younger age at marriage, lack of religious affiliation, premarital childbearing, and urban residence.
Demographic and socioeconomic heterogeneity exerted a strong influence on marital survival probabilities compared to aggregate national trends.
