Study Compares Countries with and without Divorce. 

Women who were children of divorce are less likely to have children of their own than women from stable families. This is part of a recent study that evaluated the effects on families in countries that allow divorce against those countries that don't allow divorce.

Researchers found that in countries with divorce, women are 11% less likely to marry.  If they do marry, it's usually much later in life. They are, however, more likely to get good paying jobs. This is because, with the option of divorce, they can't depend on men to take care of them.

Some researchers look at this data as good news. It shows that women are taking advantage of better opportunities, and that children are no longer trapped in abusive households. Others see it as the end of stable family life. Either way, as more countries pass divorce laws, the role of the family is changing. Families need to adapt and face the challenges, or succumb to the rising statistics of divorce.
