POVERTY AND DIVORCE
Poverty rates and divorce rates showed a weak positive correlation ranging from 0.13 to 0.23.
People below the poverty line are maybe as likely to marry as people above the poverty line, but their marriages are substantially more unstable. When these couples are not satisfied with their position in life; they’re unhappy and unwilling to work through the challenges that occur in their marriages. They are more likely to split up, rather than face the challenges together.
Thus, as hypothesized, there exists a positive relationship between poverty and divorce rates.
DIVORCE AND HAPPINESS
Divorce rates and happiness indices showed a weakly negative relation. Divorces are generally not very happy affairs and thus, it is obvious that divorce and happiness share a negative relationship. However, according to the study 'Does divorce help adults become happier?' on www.divorce.usu.edu, "When individuals end high-conflict marriages, however, they increase their happiness, on average."
Thus, as hypothesized, there exists a negative relationship between divorce rates and happiness.
POVERTY AND HAPPINESS
Poverty rates and happiness indices displayed a strongly negative relationship.
No one likes being poor. The concept of 'Economics of happiness' further proves this relationship.
Thus, as hypothesized, there exists a negative relationship between poverty rates and happiness.
