demografia.tasa_divorcialidad_edad_sexo

Divorce rate in Spain, disaggregated by province, sex, age group and year. The results for the 2005-2010 period only take into account divorces of marriages between people of different sexes. Age group categories vary slightly between the 2005-2010 and 2010-2023 periods. Unlike the crude divorce rates published separately for provinces and autonomous communities, this indicator is not a crude rate but a specific rate by age group and sex.

• Time period: 2005-2023, annually (only heterosexual marriages for the 2005-2010 period)
• Regional breakdown: provincias
