The Understanding Society partnership history file, Understanding Society: Marital and Cohabitation Histories, 1991-2023 contains information about the start and end dates of all partnerships, i.e., marriages, civil partnerships, cohabitations (living together as a couple) as reported by adult respondents in all Understanding Society (UKHLS) and British Household Panel Survey (BHPS) samples. This has been created from the following data: (i) Understanding Society: Waves 1-14, 2009-2023 and Harmonised BHPS: Waves 1-18, 1991-2009 (SN 6614); (ii) British Household Panel Survey: Waves 1-18, 1991-2009 (SN 515); and (iii) British Household Panel Survey Consolidated Marital, Cohabitation and Fertility Histories, 1991-2009 (SN 5629). See SN 6614 for full details of the Understanding Society main study.

In a survey conducted in June 2021, around 8.2 percent of unmarried women and 6.4 percent of single men in Japan have lived together with a romantic partner before. The share of singles with cohabitation experience has slowly increased over the past decades.

A large number of young adults still live with their parents because they have difficulties entering the job market, because of low wages, or the cost of housing. Despite much research in social science on the consequences of this salient social trend, we lack an understanding of its implications for public opinion. This research note fills this gap by investigating whether such living arrangement between working age children and their parents is correlated with household members' political stances. Specifically, I expect that the anxiety induced by seeing their children having difficulties to become independent will lead parents to hold more negatives political stances, while the same outcome is expected from working age children who failed to fly the nest compared to their independent peers. Using data from the European Social Survey in 32 countries covering the period between 2002 and 2016, I show that, for both parents and young adults, cohabitation is associated with negative evaluations of the national economy and of the government's performance. Studies that do not take into account the situation of other household members might miss an important part of the opinion formation puzzle.

The North Carolina State Center for Health Services (SCHS) collects yearly vital statistics. The Odum Institute holds vital statistics beginning in 1968 for births, fetal deaths, deaths, birth/infant deaths, marriages and divorce. Public marriage and divorce data are available through 1999 only.

North Carolina law defines marriage as the legal union of a male and a female (G.S. 51-1). Legal divorce or annulment can occur only by decree of an authorized court. Annulments, which void marr iage from the beginning, constitute less than one percent of the sum of these events. A divorce from bed and board is a judicial separation suspending cohabitation but not otherwise affecting the marriage bond. Divorces from bed and board are not included in these files. This study focuses on North Carolina divorces for 1996. Data includes information on the age and race of the plaintiff; information on the number of minor children; grounds for divorce; as well as the place, state, and date of the marriage.

The data is strictly numerical, there is no identifying information given about the individuals.
