THE APPLICATION OF THE KAPLAN-MEIER METHOD IN THE SURVIVAL ANALYSIS OF MARRIAGES IN SERBIA

Summary/Abstract: Considering the changes in social norms and economic factors, the survival of marriages in Serbia can justifiably be classified as a current and significant research question. This study investigated the survival of marriages in Serbia during the period between 2011 and 2022. The sample included data from the Statistical Office of the Republic of Serbia, encompassing over 400,000 marriages and 24,240 divorces. The authors, aiming to estimate the probability of marital duration, employed the Kaplan-Meier curve in this work. The results indicated the presence of relative stability in marriages during the initial few years, with a gradual increase in the probability of divorce over time.
