We investigated the factors which influence whether people prefer marriage or cohabitation as the first union. We revealed that the generations who were before 1965 chose marriage in 75% of cases. People were born after 1975 preferred cohabitation (55% of cases).

The revealed factors confirm the main tendencies of the Second Demographic Transition: people who prefer marriage as the first union more often conceived a child before starting a union; they lived with parents before the start of the union; they came from wealthy families; and they postponed their careers. The only difference is that, usually, people who started with cohabitations have higher education, but in Russia these are people with lower levels of education.
