This is the second of two reports on a study of the durations related to marriage. Divorce and death of one's spouse, the main causes of dissolution of marriage, are two of the most important events in a person's life. In the United States in 1994, 30.7 million, or 16.2%, of the adult population were either divorced or widowed. Among the widowed, the female to male ratio was 5 to 1! In this paper duration of separation due to divorce and duration of widowhood are the main variables under study. Algebraic formulas are derived and computer programs are written for estimating these durations for husbands and wives, and for living couples of any age. Relations with the duration of marriage, the expectation of life, and the family life cycle are also presented.
这是关于婚姻相关持续时间研究的两份报告中的第二份。离婚和配偶死亡是婚姻解体的主要原因，也是一个人一生中最重要的两件事。1994年在美国，成年人口中有3070万，即16.2%，处于离婚或丧偶状态。在丧偶者中，女性与男性的比例为5比1！本文中，离婚导致的分居持续时间和丧偶持续时间是主要研究变量。推导了代数公式并编写了计算机程序，用于估计夫妻双方以及任何年龄的在世夫妻的这些持续时间。还介绍了与婚姻持续时间、预期寿命和家庭生命周期的关系。
