Cohabitation in Australia: Trends and Implications for Family Outcomes

该项目将有助于改善澳大利亚家庭和社区的经济和社会福祉，使我们更好地理解转变为关系的途径以及这些选择对以后家庭结果的影响。 国家从中获得的好处将体现在更有效的政策方面，这些政策将促进关系的质量和稳定。这将有助于减少政府和社区因关系质量差和关系破裂而造成的社会和经济成本。

The project will contribute to improvements in the economic and social well-being of Australian families and communities by increasing our understanding of changing pathways into relationships and the implications of these choices for later family outcomes. The national benefit from this will be realised in terms of more effective policies that promote relationship quality and stability. This will help reduce the social and economic costs to the government and the community from poor relationship quality and relationship breakdown.
