German Couples – Who With Whom?
The preferences of the Germans at the partner choice as the Federal Statistical Office said in October, couples in Germany choose preferably partners with similar level of education. The 21 million couples living in Germany, 61% had a partner with equivalentem level of education. About a third of the couples, the man has a higher education while only at just under 9% of the couples the woman showed the higher level of education. Although couples is a trend and to recognize partners with greater age difference, so but half of all couples choose still a partner with similar age (up to 3 years of age difference). Only around 6% of the couples chose a partner with an age difference of more than 10 years. 2009, there were about 63,000 same-sex couples who live together in Germany.
This represents only about 0.3% of all couples living in Germany and is thus very low. Although Germany also is a multicultural country, but most Germans with 87% choose a partner with the same nationality. Although it is a slight upward trend to international partnerships to realize this is pronounced with an increase of only 3% in comparison to the year 1996 but very weak. There were pairs of 2009 thus only about 1.5 million, of which a partner the Germans and a partner had a foreign nationality. Also under the purely foreign couples, almost 92% of the couples have the same nationality. Stefan Kuppers GbR Kaul Bach str 39 60596 Frankfurt.
