title: New estimates and projections of the population cohabiting in England and Wales.
abstract: This article describes the derivation of a new set of population estimates of those cohabiting in England and Wales in 1996. As well as estimating the population cohabiting by age and sex, the estimates have also been made by legal marital status. The article then discusses new projections to the year 2021, based on these estimates.
