Description

This scholarly volume examines the fundamental connection between marriage patterns and social inequality in contemporary societies. The book investigates how educational systems function as marriage markets, particularly for highly educated individuals, and demonstrates that educational expansion and increased female participation in higher education have substantially increased assortative mating across generations. By analysing marriage market structures and their consequences for social stratification, the author reveals how educational homogamy has risen significantly over time. Part of the European Studies of Population series, this research-driven work provides essential insights into how educational institutions shape partner selection and, consequently, influence broader patterns of social inequality in modern populations.

Key Features

Who Marries Whom? explores the intersection of educational systems and marriage markets in modern European and Western societies.

The book demonstrates how educational expansion has increased rates of assortative mating and educational homogamy across birth cohorts.

Published by Springer and Kluwer Academic Publishers as part of the European Studies of Population series, volume 12.

Provides empirical analysis of how marriage patterns function as mechanisms that either reinforce or reduce social inequality.

Examines the unintended consequences of rising female educational participation on partnership formation and social stratification.

Combines sociology, anthropology, and demographic research to explain modern marriage market structures and outcomes.
