Abstract: The precipitous decline in remarriage since the 1980s is well documented (Sweeney, 2010; Payne, 2018). Less is known about the “retreat from remarriage” prior to the 1980s. Using data from the Vital Statistics of the United States and the American Community Survey, we examine the remarriage rate for men and women aged 15 and older from 1950 to 2017. For more information on recent change in the remarriage rate, see Change in the U.S. Remarriage Rate, 2008 and 2016 (FP-18-16).
