Refreshments will be available.After peaking in 1979, the U.S. divorce rate has steadily declined. However, the risk of divorce for older adults (defined as ages 50+) has more than doubled over this period, reflecting the graying of divorce. In this talk, Susan Brown will trace the rise of gray divorce in the U.S., addressing its causes and consequences. She will conclude with a discussion of how divorce patterns are likely to unfold in the future.Susan L. Brown is Distinguished Research Professor of Sociology.
