- Indicator id: `divorce_rate`
- Place id: `ie`
- Unit: per 1,000 inhabitants
- Definition: Divorces granted during the year per 1,000 residents (average population of the year). EU countries: divorces registered in the country, as compiled by Eurostat; legal separations and annulments are not divorces.
- Note: Divorce became legal late in some countries (Italy 1970, Spain 1981, Ireland 1996, Malta 2011), so their series start then. The rate depends on how many people are married, so it can fall when fewer people marry.
