| Annotation | Over the last 15 years, there has been a rise in the number of cohabiting adults in England and Wales. This article summarises mid-2007 cohabitation estimates produced for England and Wales, and compares these with estimates made for previous years. Previous estimates indicate that there were 2.7 million cohabiting adults in 1992 (5% of the population aged over 15 years). In 2007, it is estimated that the number of cohabiting adults has increased to 4.5 million (10% of the over 15 population). Cohabitation trends provide evidence to suggest that cohabitation will continue to rise for never married adults (and therefore overall), particularly at older ages. There is also evidence suggesting an end to historic increases in cohabitation levels for never married adults under 30 years old. (RH). |
