Adolescents' Attitudes toward Marriage and Marital Prospects after Parental Divorce: A Review.
Tasker, Fiona L.; Richards, Martin P. M.
Journal of Adolescent Research, v9 n3 p340-62 Jul 1994

Therefore, research indicates both promarriage and antimarriage tendencies within this group. The most salient factors in determining these tendencies are educational attainment and economic status.
