3. In 1990 there were 20.9
divorces for every 1000 married women over 15 years of age.
Sorry, this is true. The best
indicator the divorce rate is the number of divorces per 1000
married women over 15 years of age. This statistic is the most
accurate indicator of rate of divorce. This is the group of people
who can actually divorce. Comparisons of this statistic across
communities and over time will provide the most accurate picture of
what the trends really are. (Note: A similar rate should be found
using married men... it's close but never exactly the
same...demographers trust women's reports of their marital status
rather than men.... hmmm.)
