Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements of the Bachelor of Laws Degree, Strathmore University Law School ; Change is one thing in life that is inevitable. One of the changes the world has experienced in the late 20th century and early 2151 century is the emergence of the cohabitation institution. The Kenyan Marriage Act takes notice of the change by recognizing the existence of cohabitation unions. This positive step is negated by the fact that the law goes silent in providing for how property ownership in this unions should be governed. It leads to a case where a cohabitant's right to own properly as enshrined in the constitution is not realized by them. The situation as explained above has been confirmed through the qualitative research carried out in this paper. The primary sources of data (the statute, books and cases) show that the law goes silent on the issues of property rights, and the cases prove that the cohabitees are affected in a detrimental way. The comparative study on the other hand, supports these papers view that it is possible to avail property rights to persons in cohabitation unions. Scotland has successfully codified these rights while England has drafted a bill set to cover these rights. This paper goes on to identify the opportunities and challenges which Kenya will face in borrowing from the comparative study in formulating a legal framework protecting the property rights of cohabitants. The paper concludes that the solution to this problem will be the legislators drafting a law which helps the cohabitees realize their right to own property as provided by the constitution.

The cohabitation of Creole and French is described here in an interlectal framework and in an epistemology of complexity. Assuming the researcher's involvement in his study, the militant's inclination is never adopted so as to brush aside any ideological excess. The corpuses gathered from local native speakers are treated in their entirety, as in their constituents, refusing to set apart or to reject the least element that could act against the hypothesis. Specific syntactic forms, different from the grown ups', are created among young local speakers while learning or through their language acquisition, which would allow to bring out utterances close to interlingual mechanisms. A complex glottopolitical approach hasn't been ruled out. From the 1960s and until today strong linguistic demands have been brought forward by intellectuals and talented artists. From the time of the first academic researches in creolistics, scientists have been suggesting educational interventions that would grant room to creole in language learning. However, politicians haven't tackled this question yet, thus leaving it in the hands of other glottopolitical forces focusing on spelling, literature and school. We've been up to suggesting the broad outline of what could be a teaching of reunionese plurilingualism. ; La cohabitation du créole et du français est décrite ici dans un cadre interlectal et dans une épistémologie de la complexité.

L'économie d'une approche glottopolitique complexe a été rejetée. À partir des années 1960, et jusqu'à aujourd'hui, de fortes revendications linguistiques sont portées par des intellectuels et des artistes de talent. Depuis l'époque des premiers travaux universitaires en créolistique, les scientifiques font des propositions d'interventions pédagogiques qui accorderaient une place au créole dans les apprentissages. Pourtant, le monde politique ne s'est pas encore emparé de cette question, la laissant ainsi aux mains de forces glottopolitiques autres, autour de la question de la graphie, de la littérature et de l'école. Nous sommes allé jusqu'à proposer les grandes lignes de ce que pourrait être une didactique du plurilinguisme réunionnais.

La investigación como estrategia pedagógica es una metodología educativa que permite dirigir un aprendizaje en contexto, experimentando formas y estilos para la gestión de conocimiento mediada por momentos reflexivos, potenciando el desarrollo de competencias. El estudio buscó utilizar la investigación como estrategia pedagógica para la convivencia escolar. Estuvo guiado bajo el método cualitativo, desde el modelo de investigación acción, con un diseño descriptivo, la población estuvo conformada por cuarenta (40) estudiantes del grado sexto de la Institución Educativa Buenos Aires, de Aracataca - Magdalena. Se utilizaron técnicas de recolección como: relatoría individual e institucional y diario de campo. Los resultados muestran que, en la institución se observa un deterioro en la convivencia escolar, por ello se hizo necesario fortalecer valores, para la formación personal, que se refleje en sus relaciones personales, orientados a propiciar una educación integral, democrática, generando espacios de participación activa, mediante una cultura de paz. ; Research as a pedagogical strategy is an educational methodology that allows directing a learning in context, experimenting forms and styles for the management of knowledge mediated by reflexive moments, promoting the development of competences.

This study examines the short-term effects of change and stability in family type on the educational adjustment of children aged 10-15 years. Data for study are drawn from five waves of the Canadian National Longitudinal Survey of Children and Youth. Our focus is on comparing cohabiting (biological and step) families and marital families. No differences are observed for changes in school engagement based on cohabitation. Perceived achievement shows greater declines for children in stable cohabiting relationships compared to stable marital relationships. Children from families in which a cohabiting relationship dissolved over a two-year period do not differ from children from stable cohabiting families. Children from families in which a marital relationship dissolved report significantly less school engagement and perceived achievement than children from stable married families. The dissolution of a cohabiting relationship has more negative effects on children's education than divorce. These differences remain after accounting for socioeconomic status and family process.

Abstract
Cohabiting has been associated with a number of problems including sexually transmitted diseases and HIV and AIDS, abortions, sexual abuse and violence, low academic performance, increased cost of medical care and unwanted pregnancies. However, there is little documented information on the extent and the factors influencing cohabitation among the youth and especially among tertiary education students. This study therefore sought to fill this gap by investigating factors that lead to the prevalence and practice of cohabitation by tertiary education students. The research adopted the interpretivist philosophy. The qualitative research methodology was employed in order to understand in greater detail the behaviors, attitudes, opinions, and beliefs of the respondents on cohabitation among tertiary education students. The study used the survey research design. Primary research was conducted using questionnaire surveys that were administered to tertiary education students who participated at the Tertiary Education Sports Association of Zimbabwe in July 2016. There were 100 questionnaires distributed and 78 questionnaires were returned making 78% response rate. The respondents were randomly sampled to participate in the study. The study reflects that cohabitation among the Tertiary education students is quite common. The study noted that it is mostly caused by lack of accommodation, problems with roommates, lack of privacy and the need to be close and intimate with one's lover. In results cohabitation exposes students to premarital sex and other consequences such as unwanted pregnancies, abortion, complications and sexually transmitted infections. The study recommends that tertiary education students should be enlightened during orientations about the dangers of cohabitation. Parents should be encouraged to visit their children and find where and whom they live with while in school.

In this paper, we study the patterns of women first union formation in Hungary. We use competing risk models (Cox regression) to analyze retrospective data (women sub sample, N=8931) from the Gender and Generations Survey for Hungary, wave 1. We found that cohabitation is increasing popular choice among the young cohorts in Hungary and it works as a marriage replacement for women who start their union career later in life. While there is a well defined tendency of the younger generations to choose cohabitation rather than marriage as a first union, the level of education, being in school, working status and ethnicity play an important role in taking this decision.

In this study, we used data from the Young Lives study, which investigates teenage childbearing, marriage, and cohabitation by tracking a cohort of individuals from the ages of 8 to 19 years. While the present analysis does not intend to establish causality, the longitudinal nature of the data allows us to identify the combination of early circumstances and life changes that induce a higher likelihood of these events. The analysis addresses bias due both to reverse causality and to community characteristics that are usually unobserved and fixed over time, a strategy that is quite unique in studies of developing countries. About 1 out of 5 females (and 1 out of 20 males) in our sample had at least one child by the age of 19, and 80 percent of them were married or cohabiting. Early marriage/cohabitation is indeed intrinsically related to early pregnancy and largely predicted by the same factors. For females specifically, girls from poor households with an absent parent for a prolonged period have a higher risk of early childbearing. Similarly, girls whose self-efficacy and educational aspirations decrease over time are more at risk of becoming a mother during adolescence. Conversely, school attendance and better school performance predict a lower risk of early pregnancy; our analysis suggests that this is largely because it postpones the first sexual relationship.

Abstract
This study analyzed cohabitation among students with a view to investigate their perception on cohabitation, examined the perceived factors responsible for cohabitation and assessed the perceived effects of cohabitation on the undergraduates in Olabisi Onabanjo University, Ago-Iwoye. The study employed ex-post facto design and 226 undergraduates were sampled using systematic, proportional and convenience sampling techniques. Primary data collected through a self-designed questionnaire was analyzed using SPSS. The findings showed that undergraduates had positive perceptions towards cohabitation and there were several reasons were adjudged for high wave of cohabitation among undergraduates in OOU (increase in school fees, high quest to understand partners, lack of religious inclination, absence of supervision). More so, cohabitation had diverse effects on undergraduates which included: high level of moral decadence, incidence of sexually transmission diseases, prevalence of abortion, cases of unplanned and unintended pregnancies, increased rate of frustration and depression caused by relationship problems.

Chen studies recent immigrants and their adult children in three domains: college education, union formation, and work. In education, Chen finds that second-generation youth universally achieve higher in high school graduation than their immigrant parents. However, assimilation in terms of college education is lower among some ethnic groups due to social, cultural and structural factors. In family life, Chen finds that being raised in immigrant families protects youth from assimilating into the alternative life style of cohabitation and encourages marriage. In employment, nativity and immigran

"This article discusses Oppenheimer's theory on marriage timing, reviews the way this theory was received in European demography and family sociology, and develops a new test of the theory using annual panel data from 13 European countries for the period 1994–2001. Several indicators of men's economic status are used, including school enrollment, employment, type of labor contract, work experience, income, and education. Effects of these indicators are estimated for the transition to marriage and cohabitation, as well as for the transition from cohabitation to marriage. Country differences in these effects are examined as well. The evidence provides strong support for the male breadwinner hypothesis on the one hand, and for Oppenheimer's career uncertainty hypothesis on the other. However, the relevance of these hypotheses also depends on the national context, and especially on the way gender roles are divided in a society." [author's abstract]
Summary (analytical) In school cohabitation there are confrontations between students and teachers who, since they cannot be resolved within the cohabitation pacts, leave school to the courts; the aim was therefore to analyse these struggles, their content and what they indicate. To this end, a qualitative documentary review was carried out of eighty judgments of the Colombian Constitutional Court between 1994 and 2016 in relation to rights infringed by the school. With support in the Bourdieu theory, resistance to the recognition of girls, boys and adolescents as subjects of rights was found in the school field. The most violated rights included due process, free development of personality and the right to education. ; Resumen (analítico) En la convivencia escolar aparecen confrontaciones entre estudiantes y profesorado que, al no poderse dirimir dentro de los pactos de convivencia, salen de la escuela hacia los estrados judiciales; por lo que el objetivo fue analizar estas luchas, su contenido y lo que denotan. Para ello se realizó revisión documental cualitativa de ochenta Sentencias de la Corte Constitucional de colombiana entre 1994 a 2016, en relación con derechos vulnerados por la escuela. Con apoyo en la teoría de Bourdieu, se encontraron resistencias del campo escolar al reconocimiento de niñas, niños y adolescentes como sujetos de derechos. Dentro de los derechos más vulnerados se reportaron el debido proceso, el libre desarrollo de la personalidad y el derecho a la educación.

Uno de los principales desafíos que se perciben en la ESO se centra en la mejora de la convivencia. En la fundamentación teórica se hace un breve repaso sobre las diferentes legislaciones, tanto a nivel estatal como autonómico, en relación a la mediación. Se resalta el papel que juega el departamento de orientación en la implementación de programas de mediación entre iguales y se relaciona con las funciones de dicho profesional. El objetivo de este trabajo radica en la descripción detallada de cómo se ha llevado a cabo la mediación escolar, coordinada desde el Departamento de Orientación, en un IES de la Provincia de Castellón. Para ello se presenta la constitución de un seminario de formación del profesorado encargado de implementar la mediación escolar y las diferentes sesiones que se han trabajado en el programa de mediación con el propósito de formar al alumnado mediador. A modo de conclusión, señalar que los programas de mediación son una muy buena estrategia para la mejora de la convivencia y la resolución de conflictos en las instituciones educativas. ; One of the biggest educational challenges that we perceived in a secondary school focuses on the improvement cohabitation. In the theoretical foundation a brief revision is made on the different legislations, both nationally and regionally, in relation to mediation. The role of guidance unit in the implementation of peer mediation programs is highlighted and relates to the functions of said professional. The main aim of this study is to describe the project of mediation among equals, coordinated by the Guidance Department, in an IES of the Province of Castellón. To that end, the constitution of a teacher training seminar in charge of implementing school mediation and the different sessions that have been worked on in the mediation program with the purpose of training the student mediator is presented. As a conclusion, note that medication programs are a very good strategy for improving coexistence and conflict resolution in educational institutions.
