Interviewer instructions

<span class="h2">2.B Living with a partner</span></p>

<p>Consensual union pairs will be counted as those pairs that live within the same household and declare themselves mutually as conjugates/partners and the marital status (de jure) of at least one of the two people is that of not married.</p>

<p>As it has already been mentioned that marital status is used as a variable of the processes of the formation of nuclear families correlated with fertility. However, these family formation processes are increasingly based on unions outside of matrimony. Marital status, although very relevant, is insufficient to explain the processes of family formation and because of that the study of this variable is necessary.</p>

<p>This variable also indicates whether or not, independently of marital status, the individual lives with a partner or not.</p>

<p>Categories of this variable:</p>
<div class="i1">De jure partner</div><div class="i2">Of different sex<br />Of the same sex</div><div class="i1">Consensual union partner</div><div class="i2">Of different sex<br />Of the same sex</div><div class="i1">Of the same sex<br />Does not cohabitate with a partner</div>
