Abstract

The subject of this paper is marriages and divorces according to age in the Republic of North Macedonia. The main goal is to analyze these components throughout the years 2010, 2015, 2020, and 2022, to see mainly the age of marriage of couples and also the age which marks a higher number of divorces. Marriage is the legal union of a woman and a man, in spouses, family, and society, and as such it represents a very important demographic process for society, which, in case of dysfunction leads to divorce as another social process. A divorce is a civil act that separates spouses from their marriage, usually involving the annulment or reorganization of the legal duties and responsibilities of marriage. The methods used in this paper are: descriptive, analytical, statistical, graphic, and cartographic, where the data obtained from the state statistics agency of North Macedonia are analyzed. Based on these parameters, we note that the age of entry into marriage is mainly from 25 to 29 years, while the age most affected by divorces is from 40 to 49 years according to age groups. The number of marriages in the age group up to 20 years is higher in the female gender compared to the male one, while the opposite happens in the age group over 55 years. This result is also presented to us in divorces. From the analysis we can conclude that young people enter into marriage at a later age, mainly 25-29 years old, we also see a high number of divorces, therefore we recommend that young people be provided with the basic conditions for life, work and safety and to be stimulated to continue their growth in the family.
