| Resumo: | Using information from the INEGI´s Retrospective Demographic Survey, this paper investigates whether children who grew up in single-parent homes have a greater probability of experiencing, as adults, divorce or separation. It is found that, regardless of being married or in a union, the risk of separation is greater for those who grew up in a single-parent home and for the younger generations. The duration of a parent's absence and the number of changes in household type are also risk factors. Results suggest that, given its intergenerational nature, actions taken today to reduce family disintegration will also have effects on future generations. |
