a familiar pattern … asian < white < hispanic < black … but this time with regard to divorce in first marriages:
“First-time divorce rate tied to education, race”
“The data for the family profile, ‘First Divorce Rate, 2010’ were gathered by the U.S. Census Bureau in 2010. At that time, the rate of first divorce in the U.S. was 17.5 per 1,000 women 18 years old and older in a first marriage. According to the research, recent declines in the probability of divorce largely reflect an increase in marital stability among the more educated….
“Broken down by race and ethnicity, the study found Asian women have the lowest first divorce rate at 10 divorces per 1,000 women in a first marriage. The first divorce rates of white and Hispanic women were similar at 16.3 and 18.1, respectively. African-American women have substantially higher rates of first divorce compared to all other racial and ethnic groups, at 30.4 divorces per 1,000 women in a first marriage…..”
also, a higher iq (i.e. a college degree) correlated with a lower divorce rate.
