This thesis aimed to study the distribution of different
cohabitation types in the Czech Republic and their development
over time in relation to the prevalence of cohabitation.
Furthermore, it also aimed to examine the stratification of
each cohabitation type. Analysing data from the Generations and
Gender Survey from 2005 and 2021 for Czechia, I found that
cohabitation types that serve as marriage forerunners dominate
in both observed periods, despite the increasing prevalence of
cohabitation in the population. Furthermore, cohabitation types
proved to be stratified by age, education, and sex.
