Abstract:
An analysis on socioeconomic data in Sarawak will not be complete without studying marriages and divorces; nor will it be complete without an understanding of the patterns and growth of religion amongst its population. This chapter used the 1970 and 1980 census data to study the methods and problems of measuring and patterning marriages and divorces in Sarawak by sex, age, year, strata and race. This is followed in the chapter by showing the growth of major religions like Islam, Christianity and Buddhism during the 1947 to 1980 period, impacting the social and cultural development aspects in Sarawak.
