Great idea! Maybe you could see if there's correlations with religion or income using the census data
I would definitely narrow this down to a region where you can get detailed stats. You might want to just USA, maybe US states or regions, or Eurozone countries. That way you can break it down by age or decades or marriage and first marriage vs remarriage. Try and see where the strongest correlation is for marriage instability. My guess would be young people first married in highly populated regions, but who knows!
+1 @spm2164 I am also interested in seeing the trends between smaller regions.
[Off Topic] I have heard that in China you can hire girl friend/ boy friend during new year, I would be interested to see a story around the concept :-)
It would be great to start off by recreating the graphics they made, and then expanding from there. That way you don't get bogged down in trying to find and analyze other data!
Since they have different y axes on the left and right, here's an example of plotting on multiple axes at once.
Hi there, I'm the Playfair Bot! Would you mind posting the appropriate checklist in the main body of your issue? You might have posted it as the first comment, but it turns out it works way better in the actual body of the issue - just go up to the veeery top right and click the pencil icon to edit. You'll probably want to edit the comment to copy the checklist, then edit the original issue to paste it in. Thanks! :pray:

I found this graph from a Chinese media. The graph compares the marriage stability( calculated by crude marriage rate/crude divorce rate from 2000 to 2014 in China, Japan and U.S.
Data Source: United States Census Bureau, United Nations Statistic Bureau,
The marriage stability would need to take into consideration many other social and economic factors, such as religion, age, urban, first marriage and remarriage
