Divorce and remarriage in Flanders (Belgium): differentials according to the country of origin and the migration history

Martine Corijn, Research Centre of the Flemish Government, Brussels

Register data for Flanders (region of Belgium) allow to find out whether divorce and remarriage differ according to the country of origin and the migration history of people. Divorce and remarriage rates of people originating from the Netherlands, France, Italy, Turkey and Morocco are compared with those of the Belgians living in Flanders. The kind of migration history reveals additional differences.
