?:abstract
  • "This paper investigates how education affects marriage behavior in three countries: the United States, West Germany, and the former East Germany. Following family economics, we postulate that for woman a longer education decreases marriage rates both during education (institution effect) and after the degree has been obtained (human capital effect). For men family economics hypothesizes a delaying institution effect as well, but the human capital effect should increase marriage rates. Further considerations lead to the additional hypothesis that for younger birth cohorts these sex differences should vanish. Using event history methods we test these hypotheses with data from the "General Social Survey" (GSS 1972-1990) and from the German GSS counterpart (ALLBUS 1980-1988 and 1991). For the U.S. and West Germany, the observed marriage patterns mostly confirm our hypotheses. For East Germany, however, we observe very different marriage patterns. Our data show that there existed almost no institution effect in East Germany and that the human capital effect was totally absent. This was expected, because in this socialist country massive interventions through family policy created a very different institutional context." (xsd:string)
