[Trends in first marriages from 1961 to 1988]. / Evolution de la nuptialite des celibataires de 1961 a 1988.

ABSTRACT

PIP Trends in first marriage in Czechoslovakia are analyzed for the period 1961-1988. A general decline in the popularity of marriage is noted as being in common with most other European countries, particularly for older persons. The existence of social policies that benefit only married couples, such as those regarding housing allocation, is not seen to affect significantly the trend away from marriage.^ieng
