Afterwards, the proportion of divorce in Finland decreased slightly by approximately 3% in the following year before rising noticeably to just over 40% two years later and remaining stable until 2015.
Over the same period, the figure for the other European country showed a steady growth to reach its peak of nearly a half in 2012, followed by a continual fall in its figure, to roughly 37% in 2015.
