Using an extensive sample of individual census data for nearly all countries on the continent, it offers a cross-national, comparative view of this recent demographic trend and its impact on the family. The book offers a tour of the historical legacies and regional heterogeneity in unmarried cohabitation, covering: Canada, the United States, Mexico, Central America, Colombia, the Andean region, Brazil, and the Southern Cone. It also explores the diverse meanings of cohabitation from a cross-national perspective and examines the theoretical implications of recent developments on family change in the Americas. The book uses data from the Integrated Public Use Microdata Series, International (IPUMS), a project dedicated to collecting and distributing census data from around the world. This large sample size enables an empirical testing of one of the currently most powerful explanatory frameworks for changes in family formation around the world, the theory of the Second Demographic Transition. With its unique geographical scope, this book will provide researchers with a new understanding into the spectacular rise in premarital cohabitation in the Americas, which has become one of the most salient trends in partnership formation in the region. 2017-05-01 23:55:55 2020-03-18 13:36:15 2020-04-01T13:32:02Z 2020-04-01T13:32:02Z 2016 book 630810 OCN: 965136046 9783319314426 http://library.oapen.org/handle/20.500.12657/31346 eng application/pdf Attribution-NonCommercial 4.0 International 630810.pdf https://link.springer.com/book/10.1007/978-3-319-31442-6 Springer Nature 10.1007/978-3-319-31442-6 10.1007/978-3-319-31442-6 6c6992af-b843-4f46-859c-f6e9998e40d5 7292b17b-f01a-4016-94d3-d7fb5ef9fb79 9783319314426 European Research Council (ERC) 291 240978 FP7 FP7 Ideas: European Research Council FP7-IDEAS-ERC - Specific Programme: "Ideas" Implementing the Seventh Framework Programme of the European Community for Research, Technological Development and Demonstration Activities (2007 to 2013) open access
