REMARRIAGE IN CANADA - A SOCIAL-EXCHANGE PERSPECTIVE

Using recent Canadian national data, this study examines the remarriag e experience of women and men after they terminated a first marriage i n the context of a social exchange model. Our results suggest that the hazard rate of remarriage varies, depending particularly on type of m arital dissolution, age at marital disruption, religion and the marria ge market. The analysis shows marked gender differences in the rate of remarriage. The implications for these results are discussed.
