Spain
To analyze changes in the processes of family formation since the 1970s in Spain, national vital statistics are used to follow the evolution of age at first marriage, fertility rates, & forms of living together. Like the rest of Europe, Spain has witnessed a delay in the average age of marriage, a decline in marriage rates, & a decrease in the birthrate. Unlike most of Europe, however, these trends are not counterbalanced by an increase in the rates of cohabitation. 8 Tables, 1 Figure, 16 References. M. Wagner
