But millennials in the US and the UK aren’t hitting those milestones; instead, they’re getting on married an average of seven years later than their parents, and haven’t married at all. (The tyranny of life milestones by Sara Harrison)

We don't – it's a mistake, and the 'and' which follows should be 'or'.
