Economic Consequences of Divorce: The International Perspective (Oxford Socio-Legal Studies)

In the past decade there has been a remarkable cross-national convergence in the experience, research, and reaction to the "Divorce Revolution." As each country has experienced spiralling divorce rates and has adopted more liberal rules for divorce, it has begun to be concerned about the social and economic consequences of these changes. The twenty-six eminent contributors to this volume investigate how the new laws work in practice, analyze the societal effects of rapid change, and grapple with the policy implications of their results.Weitzman, Lenore J. is the author of 'Economic Consequences of Divorce: The International Perspective (Oxford Socio-Legal Studies)', published 1992 under ISBN 9780198254218 and ISBN 0198254210.
