Abstract
Using the 1984 Canadian Family History Survey, the authors attempt to ascertain the effect of common-law unions on the subsequent failure of marriage, operationalized as those ending in divorce or separation. Techniques employed include crosstabulations and hazards-model analysis. It is concluded that marriages preceded by a common-law union have a greater chance of dissolution. The paper and the results of the analysis clarify some of the contradictions presented in previous research.
