Importancia de la participación laboral como determinante del divorcio en España

Abstract

The retrospective information in the Spanish Family and Fertility Survey of 1995 has an enormous potential to investigate the labour participation as a explicative covariate of union dissolution. We have studied the propensity of such a determinant for the 1966-1995 union cohorts, while evaluating his relative predictive power within an explicative model including three dimensions: the socialization of the partners, the union characteristics and the educative and professional skills. The results are robust: for women being employed and for male being unemployment have a positive relationship with union break-down. The net effect of labour participation, living in a consensual union, and being grown in a big town show a high predictive power in our the exponential regression models.
