abstract: "An analysis of judicial separations (1969-1978) and divorces (1971-1978) in Italy is presented...with reference to the duration of marriage and the age of husband and wife, using...data collected by ISTAT (Italian Central Statistical Institute)."  It is found that the risk of separation or divorce is greater for shorter marriage durations (3-6 years), for individuals who marry at younger ages, and for marriages performed during World War II.
