Is marriage dissolution linked to differences in mortality risks for men and women?

Article Abstract:

Analysis of the impact of marriage dissolution on mortality shows a higher mortality rate among married men compared to women. However, unemployed women show more mortality ratio after divorce. High mortality rates arise due to factors such as low socioeconomic conditions, less number of children, and low work status. Since divorce is a stressful event, widowed individuals have better prospects of survival compared to divorced persons. Results are based on 44,000 deaths in Sweden.

Culture, parental conflict, parental marital status, and the subjective well-being of young adults

Article Abstract:

Subjective well-being of young adults was studied as affected by parental marital status, marital conflict, individualism-collectivism and divorce rate. Results show that the subjective well-being of adolescents who do not have remarried or divorced parents is negatively influenced by marital conflict. It was also observed that collectivism reduces the impact of divorce or remarriage on the psychological well-being of young adults.
