Longitudinal Study: | HILDA | Title: | Marriage breakdown in Australia: social correlates, gender and initiator status | Authors: | Hewitt, B | Institution: | Department of Families, Housing, Community Services and Indigenous Affairs | Publication Date: | Jun-2008 | Pages: | 64 | Abstract: | One of the main aims of the project was to obtain a better understanding of marriage breakdown in the Australian context, with a particular focus on gender differences in the social correlates of marriage breakdown. In this paper I present some of the key findings of that project. The project makes two main contributions to previous research into marriage breakdown in Australia: first, it examines gender differences in the social determinants of marriage breakdown in Australia; and second, previous research is extended by examining whether there are gender differences in the decision to separate, taking into account social characteristics. | URL: | https://melbourneinstitute.unimelb.edu.au/assets/documents/hilda-bibliography/working-discussion-research-papers/2008/Hewitt_Marriage_Breakdown.pdf | ISBN: | ISSN 1833-4369 ISBN 978-19211380-01-3 | Keywords: | Relationships -- Dissolution; Relationships; Gender | Research collection: | Reports and technical papers |
