See amended sentence Explanation: I wasn't familiar with the word "cohort" in this sense, but found a definition of it: In statistics and demography, a cohort is a group of subjects -- most often humans from a given population -- defined by experiencing an event (typically birth) in a particular time span. ... en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cohort_(statistics) So: In more recent groups of subjects, in which cohabitation is more frequent, the difference between those whose marriages were dissolved and those whose marriages were not has been declining and has even moved slightly the other way, so a few more are now staying together. |
