Answer to Question 2

Race and ethnicity don't cause divorce. Rather, divorce is more prevalent among African Americans because of a combination of macro, demographic, and micro factors that include the following: Higher rates of teenage premarital pregnancy; young age at marriage; presence of children from previous relationships; serial cohabitation; and poverty, financial strain, and male unemployment. Low Asian American divorce rates also reflect a combination of variables. Recent immigrants, for example, are likely to endorse traditional values that encourage staying married, even if there's domestic violence. Moreover, nonmarital birthrates for Asian American women are lowanother factor that decreases the risk of divorce.
