Unmarried cohabitation in Czechoslovakia

Language English Country Czech Republic Media print

Document type Journal Article

Trends in consensual union in Czechoslovakia are discussed using data from two surveys conducted in 1985 and 1990. "Results showed that 31% and 37% of couples contracting their first marriage lived together in 1985 and 1990, respectively. The proportion of cohabitants among couples contracting a second or third marriage was 73% and 77%. Our conclusion is that unmarried cohabitation in Czechoslovakia...is not of a Scandinavian type.... We call it 'engaged cohabitation', which is oriented toward marriage."
