[Description of a marital mobility model and its application to Quebec].
"The marital mobility model allows for the simultaneous study of the formation and break-up of couples in a given cohort.  The model is equally suited for longitudinal and for period analysis.  Its essential feature is the construction of a multiple status life table that deals either with initial status changes or with successive ones.  Preliminary results obtained for Quebec indicate that, in recent generations, individuals marry less and divorce more; at the same time the prevalence of cohabitation and the number of births out of wedlock both continue to increase."
