Livscykel och civilstånd.

• This report contains a descriptive, demographic study of the total Swedish population 1930, 1940, 1950, and 1960 as to marriage and marriage dissolution. The age, sex, and marital atatus distributions of the population over 15 years are discussed. Marriage intensities of different sex, age (one-year classes), and marital status classes are computed and discussed. Dissolution intensities are also discussed, but due to insufficiences of the data available, it has not been possible to determine them for all classes. Two different measures are used simultaneously in computing the marriage intensities; one simpler and one more exact. The results obtained by the two different methods are compared and discussed. A methodological discussion is to be found in an appendix, as is also a discussion of the material used.
