This authoritative book examines current trends in divorce
throughout the world, analyzing hitherto inaccessible information
on Asian and Arab countries and Eastern Europe, as well as data
from Latin America, Western Europe, and the Anglo countries.
William J. Goode asserts that these trends over the past four
decades challenge previous theories, including his own, first
offered in his classic World Revolution and Family Patterns. Among
the topics Goode discusses are how divorce rates in different
countries are affected by industrialization, dictatorship, civic
standards for nations, and easier divorce laws; the relations
between divorce and such factors as age and class; the meaning of
the worldwide rise in cohabitation; and why people are becoming
less likely to remarry. In all these divorce systems he points to
the problems caused by divorce: how to get child support from
ex-husbands, the increase in mother-headed families (even in Arab
countries), and the scanty help (if any) governments give to such
families. He argues that modern countries with high rates must
learn an important lesson from what he calls traditional "stable
high-divorce-rate" systems--that divorce is part of the system, and
that we must create and support social norms (not only laws) that
reduce its harsh effects.
