COHABITATION ON THE RISE

The number of cohabiting couples has increased by more than a quarter in the last decade, according to the Office for National Statistics (ONS). This makes it the fastest growing family type in the UK and the second-largest family type. There has also been a 50 per cent rise in cohabiting same-sex couples since 2015.
