This book deals with the process of the diffusion of cohabitation
in Europe and discusses its impact upon fundamental changes in
family formation. It makes use of highly dynamic statistical
modelling that takes into account both changes occurring along the
life course (individuals' biographies) and across birth cohorts of
individuals (generational change) in a comparative perspective. It
is thus innovative methodologically, but is written in such a way
as to be easily readable by those with little knowledge of
quantitative methods. The approach proposed is empirically tested
on a selection of European countries: the social democratic Sweden,
the conservative-corporatist France and West Germany, the former
socialist East Germany, and the familistic Italy and Spain. The
theory and its application are described in a clear and simple
manner, making the arguments and their illustrations accessible to
those from a variety of disciplines. The study shows evidence of
the 'contagiousness' of cohabitation, providing new insights on a
process relevant to many social science debates. It is thus
directed to those interested in the mechanisms driving social and
cultural change, the nature of demographic changes, as well as
diffusion processes.
