age at marriage  

Definición

  • Age at marriage has repeatedly been reported to be related to the chance of divorce. Over the past 50 years, the median age of marriage has increased in the United States, which scholars attribute to greater acceptability of cohabitation, increased pursuit of higher education, changes in female employment opportunities, introduction of the birth-control pill, and other factors.
