Education Divide Among Cohabiting Women Widens Over Past Two Decades
Cohabitation has increased among all women over the past 23 years, regardless of education level. But the education divide in cohabitation has widened during this time period, with the growth in cohabitation most rapid among those with lower levels of education. The rise in cohabitation was greatest among women with 12 years of schooling, who experienced a 100% increase from 1987 to 2009-10, in contrast to only a 38% increase among college graduates. As of 2009-10, nearly three-quarters of those with less than 12 years of schooling had ever cohabited compared with half of women with at least four years of college.
