No Partner, No Children? Union Formation, Assortative Mating, and Educational Inequalities in Fertility in Germany
Education is linked to whether and with whom individuals form partnerships. However, it is largely unclear how educational differences in union formation and matching with equally, more, or less educated partners shape educational disparities in fertility. Using data from the German Socio-Economic Panel, we applied marginal structural models to investigate how higher education affects the probabilities of ever having a first and a second child, a…
Workers, jobs, and how they are matched
Five decades of marital sorting in France and the United States – The role of educational expansion and the changing gender imbalance in education
Structural opportunities or assortative mating? – Decomposing trends and country differences in educational sorting outcomes in marriages
This study examines within- and cross-country trends and differences in marital sorting by education in Europe. Unlike previous research on assortative mating, our study focuses on the outcomes of the partner search process. We investigate how variations in (a) structural opportunities (educational composition of potential partners) and (b) assortative mating (non-random matching by education) have shaped trends and differences in educational sor…
Why does school socio‐economic composition matter to adolescents’ academic performance? Role of classroom climate and school resources
A growing literature has documented the importance of school socio‐economic status (SES) composition to children's academic performance, but the channels through which school SES affects individual achievement remain poorly understood. We investigate differences in 15‐year‐old children's reading performance across schools with different levels of mean SES composition in six European countries where children are sorted into different academic and …
Decomposing trends in educational homogamy and heterogamy - The case of Ireland
Employing Irish Census microdata, we analyze trends in educational homogamy and heterogamy between 1991 and 2016 and examine how they can be explained by concurrent trends in three theoretically relevant socio-demographic components - (a) educational attainment, (b) the educational gradient in marriage, and (c) educational assortative mating (i.e., non-random matching). Our study proposes a novel counterfactual decomposition method to estimate th…
