What comes after cohabitation for young adults? Using sequence analysis, our study maps six common partnership-parenthood trajectories following cohabitation as first unions among early Millennials in the U.S., highlighting its diverse roles in family formation. https://www.demographic-research.org/articles/volume/53/9/
