We investigate the causal effect of marrying at an earlier age on women’s divorce risk. We exploit the introduction of the 1981 reform in China, which facilitated legal marriage for urban women younger than 25 years old, using the Chinese Census data. We show that the reform generated a kink in the mean age at marriage for women, which we use in a fuzzy regression kink design (RKD) to assess the causal effect of marrying younger on the probability of divorce. First, we confirm in our data the existence of a negative (in fact, a U-shaped) association between age at marriage and divorce, as commonly observed in previous studies from the USA. 2023-04-12T08:38:40Z 2023-04-12T08:38:40Z 2023 Book https://link.springer.com/article/10.1007/s11150-023-09651-z https://dlib.phenikaa-uni.edu.vn/handle/PNK/7842 en application/pdf Springer
