The Unwelcome Trend. Baby Boomers and the Unexpected Increase in Divorces

Divorce rates shift as every generation comes and passes. People are getting divorced whether they drop, spike, or plateau. And as of 2022, the era with the highest divorce rate, perhaps unsurprisingly, is the baby boomer group (those born between 1946 – 1965). 

According to recent divorce surveys, between 1990 and 2012, the divorce rate amongst boomers had more than doubled compared to the previous twelve years.
