| A comparison of nuptiality patterns for Hindus and Muslims shows great similarity. |
| Such patterns are worrisome given relatively universal trends in advanced countries toward delayed nuptiality and fertility. |
| Some elements of this nuptiality process change by the time the next cohort, born 1951 60, is observed. |
| Furthermore, a better-educated population would likely change its demographic behaviour with respect to nuptiality, fertility, health and migration in ways leading to greater well-being. |
| The demographer noted each persons' gender, age, and nuptiality. |
| The HDSS centres collect longitudinal data within defined populations on the core components of population change – births, deaths, and migrations, as well as indicators of nuptiality such as marriage. |
