Describe the pattern in the United States of remarriage after divorce

Question

What will be an ideal response?

Answer 1

The proportion of women and men who have married twice is about 20 percent higher

for persons between the ages of 50 and 69 . Overall, 13 percent of men and 14 percent

of women reported that they had been married twice, and 4 percent reported that they

had been married three or more times in the latest U.S. Census Bureau study, which

incorporated the years 2008–2012.

Sixty-four percent of married persons with a bachelor's degree had been married only

once, as compared to 52 percent of adults in the general population. Because there is a

lower risk of divorce for those who have earned a bachelor's degree or more, there is

less possibility of them having second or third marriages.

Persons who are employed are more likely to be married once and to stay married to

the same partner than those who are not in the labor force. Individuals who are

unemployed have a slightly higher risk of being married three or more times than those

in other employment categories. Adults with incomes of $100,000 and above are more

likely to have married only once. At the other end of the income spectrum, persons

living below the poverty line, as well as those receiving public assistance, are more

likely to have never married and thus are less likely to have remarried.
