Özet

This study aims to analyse the relationship between divorce-marriage cases and macroeconomic variables, education index and internet penetration rate for 1993- 2021 in Turkiye. For this purpose, two separate models are constructed in which divorce and marriage rate are the dependent variables. Hatemi-J cointegration test with two structural breaks and Granger causality test based on VECM is used to determine cointegration and causality relations between variables. For both models, it is concluded that there is a long-run causality relationship between the series with cointegration relationship. There is a unidirectional causality relationship between the internet penetration rate and women's labor force participation rate towards the crude divorce rate and unemployment rate towards the crude marriage rate for the short-run
