The divorce rate peaked in 2006 (2.1) and has been decreasing slightly since then. ![]() At the same time, the crude divorce rate has essentially doubled, increasing from 0.8 per 1 000 persons in 1964 to 1.7 in 2021. After, an increase can be observed in the crude marriage rate to reach 3.9 in 2021. The decrease observed between 2019 (4.3 per 1 000 persons) and 2020 in the crude marriage rate could be interpreted as one of the signs of the effect of the COVID-19 pandemic on the EU population development. Since 1964 (the first year for which data are available), the crude marriage rate in the EU has declined by more than 50 % in relative terms (from 8.0 per 1 000 persons in 1964 to 3.9 in 2021). The most recent data available for marriages for Cyprus are from 2019 and for divorces 2019 for Cyprus, 2017 for Ireland and Greece, and 2016 for France. These figures may be expressed as 3.9 marriages for every 1 000 persons (in other words the crude marriage rate) and 1.7 divorces for every 1 000 persons (in other words the crude divorce rate). Some 1.7 million marriages and an estimated 0.7 million divorces took place in the EU in 2021, according to the most recent data available for the EU Member States. ![]()
