Editing Cohabitation (section)

====Japan====
In Japan, according to M. Iwasawa at the National Institute of Population and Social Security Research, less than 3% of females between 25–29 are currently cohabiting, but more than one in five have had some experience of an unmarried partnership, including cohabitation. A more recent Iwasawa study has shown that there has been a recent emergence of non-marital cohabitation. Couples born in the 1950s cohort showed an incidence of cohabitation of 11.8%, where the 1960s and 1970s cohorts showed cohabitation rates of 30%, and 53.9% respectively. The split between urban and rural residence for people who had cohabited is indicates 68.8% were urban and 31.2% were rural.<ref>{{Cite web |url=http://paa2006.princeton.edu/download.aspx?submissionId=61321 |title=Unmarried Cohabitation and Family Formation in Japan |date=September 23, 2005 |author1=Miho Iwasawa |author2=James M.
