When Marriage Ends

Edited by Hans-Jürgen Andreß and Dina Hummelsheim

in Books from Edward Elgar Publishing

Abstract: In recent decades the probability of divorce and separation among married and cohabiting couples has increased significantly in most European countries. Focusing on both economic and social aspects, this comprehensive volume explores the consequences of partnership dissolution at the individual level. The contributors use personal characteristics, properties of the partnerships and the institutional context to explain coping behaviours.
