The prevalence of marriage in a generation of men or women is measured by the proportion never married ¹. This is usually equivalent to the proportion remaining single ² at an age such as 50 after which first marriages are rare. The proportion remaining single at each age in a cohort can be computed from first marriage probabilities ³, i.e. the proportion of single persons at exact age x who will marry before exact age x + 1, assuming that there is no mortality. For practical purposes, however, the proportion remaining single is usually obtained from census data as the proportion single ⁴ at that age in the corresponding cohort. When a classification of first marriages by age of the spouses is available the mean age at first marriage ⁵, the median age at first marriage ⁶ and the modal age at first marriage ⁷ can all be computed. In the absence of data on the timing of marriages, it is often possible to compute a singulate mean age at marriage ⁸ from census data on the proportions single by age. More...
