Millennials are killing divorce, new study suggests
From restaurant chains and department stores to cereal and milk, Millennials have "killed" a lot of industries.Now, there's one more to add to the list: divorce.New research suggests the divorce rate dropped 18 percent from 2008 to 2016 for Americans under 45, according to University of Maryland professor Philip Cohen.Cohen said the overall drop in divorces have been "driven entirely" by younger women."It seems likely these women, who will reach longer marital durations, and who are less likely to be divorced and therefore remarried later in life, will have lower divorce rates than today바카라 게임 웹사이트s older women," he wrote in his study.Adding to the decline in divorce is the idea that marriage is becoming more exclusive."Marriage is more and more an achievement of status, rather than something that people do regardless of how they바카라 게임 웹사이트re doing," Cohen told Bloomberg."The trends ... represent progress toward a system in which marriage is rarer and more stable than it was in the past," Cohen wrote.People are more selective about who they want to tie the knot with, research shows. They're also delaying marriage until after higher education degrees are completed, once their careers are on track and their finances are stable."The change among young people is particularly striking," Susan Brown, a sociology professor at Bowling Green State University, told Bloomberg. "The characteristics of young married couples today signal a sustained decline in the coming years."

New research suggests the divorce rate dropped 18 percent from 2008 to 2016 for Americans under 45, according to University of Maryland professor Philip Cohen.

Cohen said the overall drop in divorces have been "driven entirely" by younger women.

"It seems likely these women, who will reach longer marital durations, and who are less likely to be divorced and therefore remarried later in life, will have lower divorce rates than today바카라 게임 웹사이트s older women," he wrote .

Adding to the decline in divorce is the idea that marriage is becoming more exclusive.

"Marriage is more and more an achievement of status, rather than something that people do regardless of how they바카라 게임 웹사이트re doing," Cohen .

"The trends ... represent progress toward a system in which marriage is rarer and more stable than it was in the past," Cohen wrote.

People are more selective about who they want to tie the knot with, research shows. They're also delaying marriage until after higher education degrees are completed, once their careers are on track and their finances are stable.

"The change among young people is particularly striking," Susan Brown, a sociology professor at Bowling Green State University, told Bloomberg. "The characteristics of young married couples today signal a sustained decline [in divorce rates] in the coming years."
