Exploring Co-Parenting Trends: The Rise of Cohabiting Couples and Nonmarital Births

more than _____ of all nonmarital births occur to cohabiting couples

half

According to the Pew Research Center, as of 2019, more than half (58%) of all nonmarital births occur to cohabiting couples. This is a significant increase since the 1990s, when cohabitation was less common. The trend towards cohabitation has been driven by several factors, including changing attitudes towards marriage, women’s increasing economic independence, and the high cost of weddings and divorce. While some research suggests that children born to cohabiting couples may face more instability and disadvantages compared to those born to married parents, other research indicates that the outcomes depend on a variety of factors, such as the quality of the relationship and the level of support from family and friends.
