Tóm tắt

Báo cáo sơ bộ này cung cấp cái nhìn tổng quan về những hậu quả kinh tế của ly hôn đối với các cặp đôi đang trải qua ly hôn ở Utah. Tác động kinh tế đối với các cá nhân ly hôn, các cộng đồng xung quanh họ và chính phủ tiểu bang cũng như liên bang đã được đánh giá. Dữ liệu thu thập được ở Utah cho thấy chính phủ liên bang gánh chịu những chi phí lớn nhất, bao gồm nhiều khoản chi liên quan đến trợ cấp phúc lợi và chi phí y tế. 9.735 vụ ly hôn ở Utah trong năm 2001 đã khiến chính phủ tiểu bang và liên bang tốn gần 300 triệu đô la trong các chi phí trực tiếp và gián tiếp. Việc suy diễn từ những ước tính này cho thấy ly hôn và những hậu quả kinh tế trực tiếp cũng như gián tiếp của nó tiêu tốn của Hoa Kỳ 33,3 tỷ đô la mỗi năm. Những hàm ý đối với chính sách xã hội và việc củng cố hôn nhân được cung cấp.
