The Relationship between Migration and the Provincial Divorce Rate in Canada, 1971 and 1978: A Reassessment

Abstract

Sustained differences among Canadian provinces in the rate of divorce have been observed for some time but few attempts have been made to provide a systematic analysis of the relevance of region and migration to divorce. This study examines the interrelationship between these variables at two times 1971 and 1978. The results concerning migration are consistent with the hypothesis that regions characterized by high rates of population mobility have high divorce rates while regions with low migration rates experience relatively low levels of family dissolution. The results also indicate persisting differences among provinces in divorce patterns even if the migration factor is excluded. (EXCERPT)
