Abstract:

Four in ten births are outside marriage, compared with under ten per cent a quarter of a century ago. Most of these births, however, are to cohabiting couples, not single mothers. But, explains John Ermisch, the rise in the proportion of births outside marriage should still be a source of serious concern.
