Why Is the Divorce Rate Declining in Indonesia?
Heaton, Tim B.; Cammack, Mark; Young, Larry
Journal of Marriage and Family, v63 n2 p480-90 May 2001
This study examines trends in marital dissolution in Indonesia considering the impact of educational expansion; delayed marriage; urbanization; increasing employment before marriage; legislative change; and increased free choice in marriage on the decline in marital disruption. It suggests that traditional patterns sustaining high levels of marital instability are no longer socially in effect. (JDM)
