This book presents the key findings of a study that used a combination of quantitative and qualitative data to explore the dimensions, components, and sociolegal implications of nonmarital cohabitation in Botswana. The results showed a notable increase in the prevalence of cohabiting unions between the late 1980s and the early 2000s. A key observation was that the levels and patterns of these unions closely resemble those observed in many Latin American and Caribbean countries, but differed from those in many subSaharan African countries. A complex structure of socioeconomic and demographic factors that are simultaneously at play was shown to underlie the observed levels and patterns. A discussion on the sociolegal status of cohabiting unions showed that women and children in these unions were in more precarious positions relative to those in legal marriages. The book concludes with a call for future collection of retrospective relationship histories to facilitate indepth research on this emerging and sociodemographically important union type.
