Video Talk:Divorce demography
Internationalization
Why is this page limited to 45 countries? Ningbojoe 22:55, 2 January 2007 (UTC)
- 47 now. I expect it's because not every country tracks divorce statistics, or is willing to share information with researchers. It could also be plain old laziness on the part of the researchers, too. Or perhaps the statistics are out there, waiting for you to find them and add them here.

Japan
Can anyone please make clear what is the divorce rate of Japan. The two figures on the same website are very different.

Misleading statistics
I think this page needs a bit more explanation as to what the percentages mean- it can be very misleading to simply say that x% of marriages end in divorce. I think this link explains it best
A. . . if one assumes a continuation of recent divorce trends, about 4 out of 10 first marriages to the youngest cohort may eventually end in divorce. Alternatively, if one assumes a return to the pattern of divorce during the 1975 to 1980 period, 5 out of 10 first marriages may eventually end in divorce (Current Population Reports, P23-180, 1992, p. 5),
I've added the {{npov}} because I feel this is poorly represented. --Wafulz 21:58, 12 April 2007 (UTC)
- Agreed that this page needs way more explanation before it's fit to be called accurate. One big thing that stands out for me is that the 54.8% listed for the United States seems to be in direct contradiction with the following statement made under the Statistics section of the Divorce article:
...all marriages that eventually end in divorce peaked in the United States at about 41% around 1980, and has been slowly declining ever since, standing by 2002 at around 31%.
- I'm thinking there is a huge gap of methodology between this article and the Divorce article, and my impression is that the latter seems to produce somewhat more reasonable and well-explained statistics. Any thoughts about this? I'm far from being a statistics champ, just wanting to find some accurate information on this topic... --dragfyre 04:08, 11 July 2007 (UTC)
Rural/Urban Divide
Can you expand the article adding the percentaje of divorces in cities and in countryside pardon my poor english. -- Preceding unsigned comment added by 189.172.95.47 (talk)
Who Gets Divorced?
This page just starts to approach the idea of who gets divorced. For example: for years I've heard the statistic that half of marriages in the US end in divorce. But that doesn't say anything about the prevalence of divorce in the population... how many people have or will eventually be divorced? With a sample population of 100 people, if some small group intermarry and divorce multiple times you can end up with a 50% divorce rate while only a few people actually experience divorce. This survey seems to show that about 30% of the US population actually have experienced divorce: http://sda.berkeley.edu/D3/GSS2000/Docyr/gss20001.htm#divorce -- Preceding unsigned comment added by 129.19.6.125 (talk)
I think this is a very good point and a way to fix it would be to have a table that looks at divorce rate of first marriages -- Preceding unsigned comment added by SomeUser5050 (talk o contribs) 17:50, 16 January 2011 (UTC)

Marriage/Divorce ratios are missing
Why even have a table that lists this data if it's gone? 70.230.155.104 (talk) 21:29, 10 December 2008 (UTC)
- It encourages people who have the data to add it I guess.-Wafulz (talk) 22:05, 10 December 2008 (UTC)
But it doesn't currently, can we make people aware without haveing null paramiter in artical? --Preceding unsigned comment added by 74.235.208.224 (talk) 07:07, 29 June 2009 (UTC)
What is this page even saying?
The opening paragraph gets into why several methodologies are flawed, but doesn't resolve anything. It feels like the final paragraph was cut off or something. It also gives very little indication what the statistics in the table actually are. Are the crude rates all percentages, and then ratio is a ratio of two percentages? This whole page feels lacking beyond the underexplained table of data. Spawn777 (talk) 17:44, 4 October 2014 (UTC)
- I completely agree. The purpose of this article should be clarified. It seems like it is more about the sociological study of divorce (which might include sociologists theories, as well as empirical/statistical studies) than merely the demographic factors of divorce (much more restrictive, this would require removing much of this article content).
- If we are really trying to understand divorce as a social phenomenon, could we change the title of this page, from "Divorce demography" to "Sociology of divorce" or "Propensity to divorce".

Israel's divorce rate source
The source for Israel's divorce rate is an Iranian article, I don't read Persian but I think it's hardly a good source. -- Preceding unsigned comment added by 201.103.71.4 (talk) 20:12, 14 April 2016 (UTC)
Bold Title?
Currently, the title links to Divorce and demography. Should it simply be boldened and the links remove per MoS? Dat GuyTalkContribs 14:53, 15 August 2016 (UTC)
