MARTINEZ SALGADO, Mario  y  TAPIA-MCCLUNG, Rodrigo. Spatial variation of the conjugal union of Mexican youth. Estud. demogr. urbanos [online]. 2017, vol.32, n.1, pp.131-161. ISSN 2448-6515.

Conjugal union is an organizing principle of the life of individuals and society. In Mexico, this event is crucial in the process of the transition to adult life. In many cases, it involves leaving home and the start of reproduction. It is known that at the national level, temporality has been delayed but little is known about it at the sub-national level. This research analyzes the spatial variation of the proportion of young people in conjugal union. It seeks to identify how regional inequality and cultural diversity influence the assumption of adult roles.

Palabras llave : transitions to adult life; marriage; youth; spatial analysis.
