    • Family Studies

    Background:

    • A significant demographic shift observed in developed countries since the mid-1960s is the rise in cohabitation.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To summarize evidence on the emergence of cohabitation in various countries.
    • To review the extensive body of literature generated by this phenomenon.
    • To address the diversity of meanings within consensual unions.

    Main Methods:

    • Literature review
    • Synthesis of existing evidence on cohabitation trends
    • Analysis of demographic data
