* MY ESSAY

The first chart gives data about marriages and divorces in the USA from 1970 to 2000 and the second one illustrates the percentage of adults according to their marital status in the two years.

Overall, the number of marriages in USA declined considerably whereas the figure for divorces varied unpredictably. It could be seen from the second chart that most adult Americans were married although the percentage of married people witnessed a decrease.

For the first ten years, there was a stability in the number of marriages which was 2.5 millions while a increase was seen in the other category from 1 to 1.4 millions in 1980. In the remaining of the period, the number of marriages went down regularly from 2,5 millions to 2 millions which is similar to that for divorces from 1.4 to 1 millions in the last year.

The proportion of married people was at the peak of 70% and then declined to 60% by 2000. Similarly, the figure of widowed adults went down to the bottom of the marital adult percentage scale at 5%. In contrast, there was same trends of increase between the number of married and divorced people from 15 to 20% with the former and from 1 to 9% with the latter.
