Análise comparativa dos divórcios em casais nacionais e binacionais em Portugal (2001-2010)

Abstract

The aim of this article is to develop a comparative analysis on the evolution of divorces in national and bi-national couples living in Portugal between 2001- 2010. The article starts by critically revising previous studies on divorce in binational couples, to then analyze its evolution during the decade 2001-2010. As such, we will focus on the structure of divorce having into account different social and family profiles, the level of education and the professional context of the spouses. At a final stage, we will critically summarize the results found here and suggest future lines of research
