1 Partnership stabilization in European and East Asian contexts: Increasing pre-marital cohabitation rates and the case of rural-urban migrants Barbara E. Fulda 13 th July 2016

2 Research Interest Countries are at different stages of acceptance, adoption, and interpretation of pre-marital cohabitation Pre-marital cohabitation is A recent social phenomenon in China Widely practiced in many European countries – to different degrees Research Interest Group of cohabiters before first marriage China: Why do individuals cohabit before they get married? Germany: Why do cohabiting couples still get married? Extra: Does increasing intra-national migration relate to increasing rates of pre-marital cohabitation?

3 Data and method CountryData SetsDetails DE Panel Analysis of Intimate Relationships and Family Dynamics (pairfam) Age 15-35, Birth Cohorts: 1971-1973, 1981-83, 1991-93 6 waves (2008/09-2013/14), annually N= 2.615 (1.105 individuals cohabited) CNChinese Family Panel Studies (CFPS) Age: 15-35, Birth Cohorts: 1975-1994 2 waves (2010, 2012), biennially N= 5.331 (1.338 individuals cohabited) Sample: Married individuals (1 st marriage) who cohabited or did not cohabit with their spouse Method: Logistic regression DV: Cohabited prior to first marriage (1) vs. direct marriage (0)

5 Rural-urban migration in China A driver of increasing premarital cohabitation? Among 120 million intra-national migrants, 40% are aged between 20-24 (Hong et al. 2006) 5.44 % of all men and 7.46 % of all women in the sample moved from a rural to an urban region (CFPS 2010, Age: 15-35) Rural-urban migration is expected to increase Pre-marital cohabitation among migrants is very common (Hong et al. 2006) Definition Migrant: Agricultural hukou status, but living in urban region at time of interview

6 Rural-urban migration in Germany Unique in its extent within Europe Difficult economic situation in East-Germany, especially in rural regions Highly-educated East-German women from rural areas move to West-German cities Leaving behind men with low educational levels Definition migrant: Born in East Germany but living in West Germany at time of last interview (wave 6) East-German migrants -> 17% of sample
