Overview

Through a comparative analysis of data and research across several nations, this project will document trends in cohabitation, its consequences, responses of different nations (e.g., national laws and public policies), and measures of child well-being. The research will involve comparison of the United States with nations in which the practice of cohabitation has been established for a longer period and is more common. It is expected that the study will involve examination of research and other data from several Western European nations, Canada, Australia and New Zealand.

The project period is 7/01/06–3/31/2008 and the point of contact is Nancye Campbell. Ask a Question.
