Whether a couple remain married or divorce has repeatedly been shown to be of importance for the marital stability of their children. This paper addresses the related question of whether the intergenerational transmission of divorce is contingent on the age at which parents divorced and the sex of the spouse who experienced the parents' divorce. Using a population-wide data-set on Norwegian first marriages followed from 1980 to 2003, we find that the intergenerational transmission hypothesis holds also for Norway, that this relationship is stronger for women than for men, and that there is a negative age gradient in the transmission effect for women. The experience of multiple family transitions, such as a parent's remarriage or a second divorce, does not affect couples' divorce risk.
夫妻是维持婚姻关系还是离婚，已多次被证明对其子女的婚姻稳定性至关重要。本文探讨了一个相关问题，即离婚的代际传递是否取决于父母离婚时的年龄以及经历父母离婚的配偶的性别。利用1980年至2003年挪威首次婚姻的全人口数据集，我们发现离婚的代际传递假说在挪威也成立，这种关系对女性的影响比对男性更强，而且女性的传递效应存在负年龄梯度。经历多次家庭变迁，如父母再婚或二次离婚，不会影响夫妻的离婚风险。
