Household scenarios for the European Union.

"This article reports on three Household Scenarios for the countries of the European Union.... These scenarios predict the numbers of persons living alone, living with a partner, living as a child at the parental home and living in another household position, as well as the institutional population. The period covered is 1995-2025. In all three scenarios, the number of persons living alone will grow.... The total number of households increases in all scenarios, whereas the average household size will decline in all scenarios."

The changing meaning of cohabitation and marriage.

"In the Netherlands, the social meaning of both marriage and cohabitation has changed. Cohabitation started as an alternative way of living, developed into a temporary phase before marriage, and finally became a strategy for moving into a union gradually.... This article addresses the question whether or not individual past and current life-course experiences become increasingly important in explaining the differentiation of entry into marriage across female birth cohorts, and yet become decreasingly important in explaining the differentiation of entry into cohabitation across female birth cohorts. This question is examined using a non-proportional hazard model. Empirical evidence supports this hypothesis strongly, in that both past determinants such as family size or religion and current life-course determinants such as work or education change in their impact on cohabitation and marriage across birth cohorts."

[Population and household forecasts, 1994].

"The Netherlands Population and Household Forecasts are updated annually by Statistics Netherlands.... In the 1994 based forecasts the median age at marriage is expected to be one year higher than in the previous forecasts (from 29 to 30 years for men born in 1985 and 27 to 28 years for women born in 1985). Also, the median age at first childbirth is expected to be a half year higher than in previous forecasts. Furthermore, non-married cohabitation is expected to rise even faster than in former forecasts.... The increase in one-person households during this period will be about 610 thousand and the number of couples (with or without children) will increase by 330 thousand." (SUMMARY IN ENG)

[The increase in cohabitation: changes in related demographic behavior].

"The Dutch period- and age-specific hazard rates of marriages, cohabitation, [and] dissolution of cohabitation are studied. Also, family formation according to living arrangement of the mother is examined. The number of cohabiting persons has risen markedly.... Rates of direct marriage have declined.... The increased period of cohabitation is mainly linked with a delay in marriage among young cohabitors; it does, however, not coincide with a decreasing risk dissolution.... Fertility rates of married women have risen across the birth cohorts, while fertility rates of cohabiting women and women living without partner have remained fairly stable." (SUMMARY IN ENG)

[More separations than divorces].

"In the Netherlands, the yearly numbers of divorces have been rather stable since the mid eighties. Yet the numbers of separations of couples are on the increase. This is caused by two factors. First of all, more and more women cohabit at some point in their lives....Secondly, cohabiting couples have a much higher likelihood of disruption than married couples. About one in seven women born in 1950-1954 was ever divorced before age 38. If disruption of cohabitation is added to this figure, one in five women born in the early fifties has ever separated. For more recent birth cohorts, difference between divorce and disruption of both marriage and cohabitation is much larger. Of women born in the early sixties, only 4 per cent were ever divorced before age 28, whereas 17 percent of these women were ever separated." (SUMMARY IN ENG)

[Diversity of couple relationships].

"This article focuses on differences between married women who cohabited prior to marriage, married women who did not cohabit prior to marriage, and cohabiting women. There are quite remarkable differences between these three groups: in opinions about primary relationships and separations, in motives for marrying, in behaviour (stability of union, labour force participation) and individual and couple-related characteristics (number of children, religion). These results come from the Netherlands Family and Fertility Survey 1993 conducted by Statistics Netherlands." (SUMMARY IN ENG)

[Which women experience divorce?].

"This study reports on the determinants of divorce of married Dutch women, born between 1950 and 1969.... The impact of several factors on the divorce process is examined.... The analyses show that the women who have the highest divorce rates grew up in a big city, cohabited before marriage (and are or were religious), married before age 21 in the period 1980-88 and had a child before, or within six months after, the wedding. On the basis of these results, it is estimated that 20% will experience divorce within the first five years of their marriage. The data for the analyses have been derived from The Netherlands Fertility Survey (1988)...." (SUMMARY IN ENG)
