Квебек: на два брака — один развод по статистике

набрел на статистику

Dr. Ambert found that the answer to the question, «Do one out of every two marriages ends in divorce?» is «[b:2bh89ydl]No for Canada as a whole but yes for Quebec.»[/b:2bh89ydl]

Интересно, почему в Квебеке наивысший процент по Канаде? Я поначалу думал, что многие иммигрантские браки рушатся здесь на 5-8 году жизни, но оказалось это общая тенденция.

Правда приводится некоторые обьяснения, не знаю насколько они соответствуют действительности:

Dr. Ambert accounts for the consistently high and increasing rate of divorce in Quebec by pointing to its [b:2bh89ydl]»low religiosity» [/b:2bh89ydl]which «is related to lower marital happiness and a higher propensity to divorce» in the province, and to the compounding effect that the «children of divorce,» who are at a higher risk of divorcing as they enter into marriage themselves, have on the divorce rates.

«low religiosity» никогда бы не подумал…

Но дети по-прежнему верят в светлое семейное счастье, как и мы когда-то:

According to Dr. Ambert’s investigation, while Canadian teens have grown up with divorce as a common occurrence, only 40% of them approve of divorce and [b:2bh89ydl]90% of young people expect to marry and to stay with the same partner for life[/b:2bh89ydl].

И не факт, что прожив вместе несколько лет перед свадьбой всегда хорошо:

The study also considers the effect «living together» before marriage has on the divorce rates and concludes that cohabitation, especially «serial cohabitation,» [b:2bh89ydl]greatly increases the risk factor of a first divorce.[/b:2bh89ydl] Cohabitation represents for many couples, particularly men, a lesser commitment than marriage. [b:2bh89ydl]Cohabitation is easier to get into and easier to get out of than marriage. [/b:2bh89ydl]Therefore, there is less reason to ‘work’ at maintaining a relationship that may never have been viewed as a life-long commitment to begin with.
«However, many such less committed couples move on to marriage, and may not be ready for the required commitment. As a result, divorce may follow,» the report states.

И все-таки лучше иногда промолчать в критических ситуациях, думая о детях:

Married people live longer and have fewer health problems and they are more emotionally and financially stable. [b:2bh89ydl]Most important, their children are not vulnerable to the litany of problems faced by many children whose parents divorce.[/b:2bh89ydl] More secure and stable children naturally results in a stronger and healthier society.
