This paper examines the meaning of informal unions among mainland Puerto Rican women with data from.. survey of Puerto Rican women residing in New York City and its surrounding counties in 1985. The primary air.1s of the analysis are: (e) to compare the characteristics of women in informal unions to these of women who are single and women who are legally married; (b) to assess whether Puerto Rican women define their informal unions as non marital cohabitation or a farm of marriage; and (c) to examine the predictors of women's definitions of informal unions. Overall, the results show that among Puerto Ricans, informal unions are more akin to marriage than singlehood.
