How divorce and marriage compare internationally
全球的結(jié)婚與離婚情況
IT IS not a seven year itch: the unlucky number is 13.6. That is the average length of a marriage before a divorce in the mostly rich countries of the OECD. Italians stick it out longest (perhaps because formal separation is lengthy and expensive). Americans, stereotypically impatient, only stay together eight years before divvying up the wedding gifts. Qatar, where polygamy is legal, has both a short length of marriage prior to a divorce and low divorce rate. Across Europe the divorce rate is around 2.5 for every 1,000 people; America’s is 3.6. As for marriage, the rate in many Western countries has long declined, but plateaued in recent years. (In Russia and China the rate has increased). Sobering data as one reflects on the hard work of romance—and a reminder to stoke the flames of those relationships that still burn on this Valentine’s Day.
七年止癢的說法可不對哦:這個不吉利的數(shù)字是13.6年。根據(jù)統(tǒng)計經(jīng)濟與合作發(fā)展組織(OECD)的大多數(shù)富裕國家平均婚齡是13.6年。意大利人堅持地最久(可能是因為正式離婚需要經(jīng)過漫長的流程而且花費不菲)美國夫婦們在一起八年后往往會開始互相看不順眼。允許一夫多妻的卡塔爾比較有特色,他們的離婚率在OECD里面是最低的,但真要分速度也很快,5年多就過不下去了。整個歐洲的平均離婚率是千分之2.5,美國則是千分之3.6。
至于結(jié)婚率,在許多西方國家都已經(jīng)大幅下滑了,但最近幾年又有重新上升的跡象(在俄羅斯與中國,結(jié)婚率則是上漲的)
相愛總是簡單,相守才難。
愛情之花需要時時勤澆灌,不是只有2月14號一天哦~
