This paper presents the preliminary findings of marital instability in Cambodia using the 2000 DHS data for women age 15-49. The central focus is that recent social changes are in conflict with the traditional practice of marriage and this may lead to high incidence of divorce/separation among cohorts who experienced the changes. A discrete-time technique was used to construct a person-year data set and logistic models of the probability of divorce/separation were estimated. Summary of the findings, discussions, and limitations are provided. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
