Abstract

The chapter addresses the dynamics of marriage and divorce rates and the determinants of getting married and divorced in the period 1994–2014 in Russia. The chapter provides an overview of current statistical trends, theoretical considerations, and a review of existing empirical studies of contemporary marriage and divorce in Russia. Finally, it describes tested empirical models and results from a regression analysis of marriage and divorce determinants. Russian demographic changes are discussed in relation to global shifts in married life, which is becoming more flexible and diverse. In many European countries, as females become more career oriented and more independent they become less tolerant of unsuccessful marriages. Is this global trend relevant to Russian society? Do children still prevent divorce among Russian couples? How much do alcohol and smoking affect marriage prospects in Russia? These are the questions answered in this chapter.
