Objective: This study investigates US first cohabitation duration between young adults born in the 1950s and young adults born in the 1980s and how socioeconomic resources contribute to cohabitation duration by cohort.

Methods: Using data from the National Longitudinal Surveys of Youth 1979 and 1997, I employ life table estimates and competing-risks Cox proportional hazard models to study how cohabitation during and transitions out of cohabitation have changed over time.
