We used data on women's first marriages from the Fertility and Family Surveys to analyse the intergenerational transmission of divorce across 18 countries and to seek explanations in macro-level characteristics for the cross-national variation. Our results show that women whose parents divorced have a significantly higher risk of divorce in 17 countries. There is some cross-national variation. When compared with the USA, the association is stronger in six countries. This variation is negatively associated with the proportion of women in each cohort who experienced the divorce of their parents and with the national level of women's participation in the labour force during childhood. We conclude that differences in the contexts in which children of divorce learn marital and interpersonal behaviour affect the strength of the intergenerational transmission of divorce.
我们利用生育与家庭调查中有关女性初婚的数据，分析了18个国家离婚现象的代际传递情况，并从宏观层面特征寻找跨国差异的原因。我们的研究结果表明，在17个国家中，父母离异的女性离婚风险显著更高。存在一些跨国差异。与美国相比，在六个国家这种关联更强。这种差异与每个队列中经历父母离异的女性比例以及童年时期女性参与劳动力的国家水平呈负相关。我们得出结论，离婚子女学习婚姻和人际行为的背景差异会影响离婚代际传递的强度。
