人们对婚姻解体比率上升的兴趣，伴随着对解体的结构性和时间性预测因素的好奇心。许多因素可能起到了作用：新娘和新郎的特征；婚姻周围的情况，如以前同居的时间长短；以及婚姻中的情况因素，如子女的出生和妻子的就业。我们研究了这些因素与婚姻破裂之间的联系，并使用了具有全国代表性的澳大利亚女性抽样调查的事件历史数据。在受访者的一生中，婚姻破裂的风险急剧增加。出生年份和结婚年龄对婚姻破裂的时间相关性提供了最简约的描述。结婚时固定下来的特征提供了额外的解释杠杆。然而，婚姻破裂的最有力的预测因素与婚姻本身的特征有关，即就业模式、住房所有权和居住地区。
Interest in rising rates of marriage dissolution has been accompanied by curiosity concerning structural as well as temporal predictors of dissolution' Many factors may play a part: characteristics of the bride and groom; the circumstances surrounding the marriage, such as the length of periods of previous cohabitation; and situational factors within the marriage, such as the births of children and wives' employment. We examine the association between these factors and marriage dissolution, and use event-history data from a nationally representative sample survey of Australian women. The risk of marriage dissolution increased dramatically over the lives of our respondents. Year of birth, and age at marriage provide the most parsimonious characterization of the temporal correlates of marriage dissolution. Characteristics that were fixed by the time of marriage provide additional explanatory leverage. However, the most potent predictors of marriage dissolution are related to characteristics of the unfolding marriage itself; namely, patterns of employment, home-ownership, and region of residence.
