childless divorce  

Definición

  • In his 1891 book, The Divorce Problem, the eminent statistician Walter Willcox used state records from New Jersey, Minnesota, Maryland, and Colorado to show that childless couples were 3.5 to 5.4 times more likely to get divorced than couples with children. Willcox's simple analysis was a propitious foreshadowing of an issue that has garnered attention ever since. [Source: Cultural Sociology of Divorce: An Encyclopedia; Childless Divorce]
