In recent decades the probability of divorce and separation among
married and cohabiting couples has increased significantly in most
European countries. Focusing on both economic and social aspects,
this comprehensive volume explores the consequences of partnership
dissolution at the individual level. The contributors use personal
characteristics, properties of the partnerships and the
institutional context to explain coping behaviours. The book
comprises reports on eight countries, which have tentatively been
classified as: 'the male breadwinner' (Belgium and Germany), 'the
dual earner' (Denmark, Finland and Sweden), 'the market' (Great
Britain) and 'the family' model (Spain and Greece). It also
contains four cross-national comparative studies addressing the
wider impacts of divorce, including labour force participation,
residential mobility and housing, household income, and poverty and
lifestyle deprivation. Complemented by the editors' authoritative
introduction, this timely study will prove invaluable to graduate
students and researchers interested in the economics and sociology
of the family. Legal and public policy practitioners will also find
the book an insightful addition to the current literature.
