Abstract

Nuptiality changes have been at the core of demographic
transitions in Europe and in several Asian societies [Caldwell (1993)].
Delayed marriages have been seen as precursors of fertility change in
most societies. They underlie changes in family formation patterns and
living arrangements, which ultimately are the bases of demographic
transition. The concomitants of profound changes in marriage behaviour
are worth studying because of their impact on demographic outcomes such
as the population growth rate and fertility. Moreover, they are also
strongly connected to the role and status of women, family living
arrangements and power structures.
