Abstract
Um den Einfluss der Bildungsexpansion auf Partnerschaftsstabilität einzuschätzen, untersucht diese Studie den Zusammenhang zwischen dem Bildungsniveau und dem Trennungsrisiko in ehelichen oder nichtehelichen ersten Partnerschaften. Da sich der Bildungsgradient im Trennungsrisiko für Frauen (und, auf einem geringeren Niveau, für Männer) im Zuge der Bildungsexpansion von einem positiven auf ein statistisch nicht-signifikantes Niveau gesenkt hatte, ist letztere keine wesentliche Erklärung für die starke Zunahme der Trennungsraten in der Schweiz.
This study examines the association between educational attainment and separation
risks in marital or non-marital first partnerships to query the extent to which educational
expansion has affected trends in partnership stability. Because the educational gradient in
separation changed from being positive for women (and, to a lesser extent, for men) to being
statistically non-significant at the same time as educational expansion took place, the latter
can only serve as a minor explanation of the exceptional rise in breakup rates in Switzerland.
