“…We chose to evaluate both formal and consensual unions, because historically cohabitation has spread across different social groups in Brazil and corresponds to a relevant share of observed fertility levels (Esteve, Garcia-Román, and Permanyer 2012;Laplante et al 2015;Vieira 2016). Despite formal marriages and consensual unions displaying different age-specific fertility profiles (Vieira and Alves 2016) and fertility levels (Vieira 2016), they are not significantly different in terms of assortative mating patterns (Esteve and McCaa 2007).…”

BACKGROUNDBrazil's fertility transition was the result of multiple socioeconomic transformations that started during the second quarter of the 20th century. Education expansion played an important role in this process by promoting changes in social norms and in assortative mating profiles. OBJECTIVEThe goal is to estimate cohort fertility rates (CFR) of women in union by educational pairing (different combinations of men's and women's educational levels) and whether changes observed in assortative mating profiles were associated to the Brazilian cohort fertility transition. METHODSFirst, we estimate CFR by educational pairings for women cohorts born between 1925 and 1969. Second, we decompose the difference in CFR between younger and older cohorts into two components, the effects of changes in the composition of educational pairings (structural changes) and the rate effects (other factors). RESULTSThe CFR of couples in Brazil declined from levels higher than 6 children per women for cohorts born in 1925-1929, to less than 3 children for women born in 1965-1969. Changes in the composition of educational pairing corresponded to approximately onethird of these reductions in cohort fertility.

“…Many have argued that this phenomenon may indicate the diffusion of values described by the Second Demographic Transition (SDT) in Brazil and the rest of the continent (ESTEVE et al, 2012;COVRE-SUSSAI, 2015;CABELLA;SOTO, 2017). Other studies, in turn, question whether some young Brazilians who currently have access to higher education prefer a consensual union simply because they are replicating the behaviour of their parents and relatives (VIEIRA, J. M., 2016(VIEIRA, J. M., , 2020, who had already experienced this kind of conjugal union in less favoured socioeconomic contexts.…”

“…Initially, consensual unions in Brazil were almost entirely observed in the poorest and least educated groups of the population (CASTRO- MARTÍN, 2002;VIEIRA, J. M., 2016). Recently, they have increased in all socioeconomic groups in the country, which may indicate changes in the social meaning of this type of conjugal union in the continent (CASPER; BIANCHI, 2002).…”

Consensual unions have increased greatly in Brazil over the last few decades. Initially, restricted to less-educated groups, they have now been observed in all educational groups, leading some to suggest a diffusion of the Second Demographic Transition (SDT) in the country. In this paper, we examine the characteristics of women choosing consensual unions in Brazil between 1980 and 2010, with a focus on differentials by education. The results show that higher educated women, when compared to the least educated group, prefer marriage over consensual union in both 1980 and 2010. In addition, we show a growing difference between educational groups over time for choosing informal unions, as the probabilities for higher educated women to choose this union type grew less than for the lower educated. For the women with high levels of education in 2010, the likelihood of being in a consensual union is greater among those from lower social classes, and among blacks, browns, and Catholics. These results suggest the replication of intergenerational behaviour as the most likely explanation for the increase in consensual unions among the most educated.

“…Um traço marcante da vida familiar na América Latina é o fato de ser socialmente aceito ter e criar filhos dentro de uniões consensuais (Castro-Martín et al, 2011;Laplante et al, 2015). Seguindo essa mesma tendência, também no Brasil a fecundidade de mulheres em uniões consensuais é levemente mais alta do que a das casadas, sendo o padrão da fecundidade mais rejuvenescido no primeiro grupo (Laplante et al, 2015;Vieira, 2016).…”

“…Por outro lado, certamente para o caso brasileiro, a partir da Constituição de 1988 e da aprovação de legislações que expandem os direitos e obrigações antes restritos ao casamento também para os coabitantes (Koerner, 2002;Marcondes, 2011), a pressão pela conversão das uniões consensuais em casamento tem diminuído mesmo após o nascimento dos filhos. A fecundidade brasileira hoje é altamente dependente da fecundidade das mulheres em união consensual (Vieira, 2016). Com o vínculo legal pai-filho e as obrigações parentais sendo cada vez mais dissociadas do tipo de laço existente entre o homem e a mulher, nem todas as pessoas se sentem constrangidas a casar em razão de uma gravidez ou nascimento de um filho.…”

O objetivo deste trabalho é comparar o que aqui denominamos idade média à união (SMAU) e a idade média ao casamento (SMAM) de mulheres e homens nas 27 unidades federativas brasileiras (26 estados e o distrito federal) em 2000 e 2010. Exploram-se possíveis associações entre estas idades médias e três dimensões: disponibilidade de parceiros do sexo oposto; factibilidade do casamento; e possíveis mudanças na apreciação do casamento como valor. A idade média à união de qualquer tipo (SMAU) está mais associada à disponibilidade de parceiros, enquanto a SMAM mostra estar mais relacionada a variáveis socioeconômicas do que a smau. Situações de maior desvantagem socioeconômica estão associadas a maior idade média ao casamento (união formal). Mudanças na apreciação do casamento como valor são difíceis de serem apreendidas, pois as variáveis disponíveis não são as ideais. No entanto, a razão de sexo da população ocupada e a proporção de homens e mulheres com curso superior nas áreas geográficas em análise foram utilizadas como proxies de diferenças na esfera dos valores.
