“…Historically, while women from the upper classes needed to submit themselves to arranged marriages, men were allowed to have relationships with women from different social and ethnic groups, following different rationalities and moral codes (Arriagada 2002). Traditionally, women from the same (upper) social class and ethnicity (white) were 'to be married to', although extra-marital relationships (concubinage) with women from lower social classes and different ethnic groups were common (Caulfield 2001;Fernández-Aceves 2007).…”

BACKGROUND The existence of cohabitation is a historical feature of nuptiality in Latin America. Traditionally, cohabitation was common in less developed regions, among the lower social classes. But today its occurrence is increasing and in social groups and regions in which it was not common. The features of this latter type of cohabitation remain unclear. OBJECTIVE We differentiate types of cohabitation in Latin America on the basis of relationship context at its outset and its outcomes in terms of childbearing. The comparability of these types over countries is attested, as well as their evolution over time and the educational and age profiles of cohabitants. METHODS Demographic and Health Survey data for the 1980s, 1990s, and 2000s for up to eight countries are analyzed by means of Multiple Group Latent Class Analysis. RESULTS Three types of cohabitation are found. The traditional type includes young and lowereducated women who start to cohabit during adolescence. They have more children at younger ages. The remaining two types of cohabitation included higher-educated women and are considered modern. The innovative type groups women from all age groups, with fewer children born at a higher age and never as a single woman. Blended
