Estimates of annual divorces by country [ edit ]

The following are the countries with the most annual divorces according to the United Nations in 2009.[1][2]

Divorce statistics by country/region (per 1,000 population / year) [ edit ]

Metrics / statistics [ edit ]

Crude divorce rate [ edit ]

This is divorces per 1,000 population per year.[32] For example, if a city has 10,000 people living in it, and 30 couples divorce in one year, then the crude divorce rate for that year is 3 divorces per 1,000 residents. Crude Divorce Rate = Number of divorces Population × 1000 {\displaystyle {\text{Crude Divorce Rate}}={\frac {\text{Number of divorces}}{\text{Population}}}\times 1000} The crude divorce rate can give a general overview of marriage in an area, but it does not take people who cannot marry into account. For example, it would include young children, who are clearly not of marriageable age in its sample. In a place with large numbers of children or single adults, the crude divorce rate can seem low. In a place with few children and single adults, the crude divorce rate can seem high.

Refined divorce rate [ edit ]

This measures the number of divorces per 1,000 women married to men, so that all unmarried persons are left out of the calculation.[32] For example, if that same city of 10,000 people has 3,000 married women, and 30 couples divorce in one year, then the refined divorce rate is 10 divorces per 1,000 married women. Refined Divorce Rate = Number of divorces Number of married women × 1000 {\displaystyle {\text{Refined Divorce Rate}}={\frac {\text{Number of divorces}}{\text{Number of married women}}}\times 1000}

Divorce-to-marriage ratio [ edit ]

This compares the number of divorces in a given year to the number of marriages in that same year (the ratio of the crude divorce rate to the crude marriage rate).[32] For example, if there are 500 divorces and 1,000 marriages in a given year in a given area, the ratio would be one divorce for every two marriages, e.g. a ratio of 0.50 (50%). Divorce-to-Marriage Ratio = Number of divorces Number of marriages {\displaystyle {\text{Divorce-to-Marriage Ratio}}={\frac {\text{Number of divorces}}{\text{Number of marriages}}}} However, this measurement compares two unlike populations – those who can marry and those who can divorce. Say there exists a community with 100,000 married couples, and very few people capable of marriage, for reasons such as age. If 1,000 people obtain divorces and 1,000 people get married in the same year, the ratio is one divorce for every marriage, which may lead people to think that the community's relationships are extremely unstable, despite the number of married people not changing. This is also true in reverse: a community with very many people of marriageable age may have 10,000 marriages and 1,000 divorces, leading people to believe that it has very stable relationships. Furthermore, these two rates are not directly comparable since the marriage rate only examines the current year, while the divorce rate examines the outcomes of marriages for many previous years. This does not equate to the proportion of marriages in a given single-year cohort that will ultimately end in divorce. In any given year, underlying rates may change, and this can affect the ratio. For example, during an economic downturn, some couples might postpone a divorce because they can't afford to live separately. These individual choices could seem to temporarily improve the divorce-to-marriage ratio.

What year of marriage is the happiest?

According to a team of researchers from Pennsylvania State and Brigham Young University, married couples reached their happiest point at the 20-year mark. For the study, scientists looked at relationship satisfaction in 2,034 marriages with an average age of 35-37.

Many think the post-nuptials honeymoon phase is the tops when it comes to a marriage reaching levels of bliss. But a recent study, published in Social Networks and the Life Course, begs to differ. According to a team of researchers from Pennsylvania State and Brigham Young University, married couples reached their happiest point at the 20-year mark. For the study, scientists looked at relationship satisfaction in 2,034 marriages with an average age of 35-37. Through their analyses, they determined that couples who last 20 years actually spend more time doing activities together when compared to those in their honeymoon period, Business Insider reported. Interestingly, researchers also found that happiness levels decrease gradually up to the 20-year mark, before increasing after that marriage milestone.

With the young average age of this study, we also are curious to know how happiness is impacted other major relationship benchmarks — is the best yet to come after your china anniversary?
