| 1. Title: Ecological determinants of divorce: a structural approach to the explanation of Japanese divorce. Author: Fukurai H; Alston JP Source: SOCIAL BIOLOGY. 1992 Fall-Winter;39(3-4):257-77. Abstract: "This paper examines the ecological determinants of contemporary Japanese divorce rates on the prefectural level. LISREL and computer-generated graphics are the analytic methods used....Our analysis demonstrates that sex ratio, female labor force participation, female in-migration patterns, population increase, and net household income all play a significant role in affecting the divorce rate. Our findings also confirm the well-supported hypothesis that both population density and modernization positively influence modern Japan's divorce rates. The residual analysis also points out that in order to account for the large proportion of the unexplained variance of Japanese divorce, behavioral-related variables and island- or prefecture-specific dimensions need to be included in the ecological model of divorce."
