Abstract	We model histories between two cohorts of urban Chinese couples (N=1,191) of a rarely studied living arrangement - coresidence with the wife's parents - using a dynamic life history analysis in contrast to previous cross-sectional studies of co-residence. We examine patterns of entry into and exit from co-residence with the wife's parents, comparing the predictive power of modernization theory to the effect of demographic change and the resources and needs of each generation. Given China's well-known patrilineal family system, we find a surprisingly high number of couples ever residing non-normatively, and significant differences between cohorts in what determines the pattern of co-residence. Resources and needs that reflect conscious choices to co-reside most strongly influence non-normative co-residence. Its importance may increase as the children of the One-Child Family Policy grow up and marry. (Author).
