Abstract

"This paper focuses on the effects of age at marriage and the sex-ratio on patterns of ethnic homogamy among Israeli women. We hypothesize that later marriages are more likely than early marriages to be heterogamous as the 'marriage market' shifts from school to the work-place. By the same token, when facing severe marriage squeezes women will be forced to out-marry. Employing data from the 1983 census, we model mate selection of women from Afro-Asian and Euro-American origin in various birth-cohorts. The results do not fully support our hypotheses: we find that in and of itself, age at marriage does not enhance ethnic heterogamy."

摘要

本文聚焦于结婚年龄和性别比例对以色列女性族内通婚模式的影响。我们假设，随着“婚姻市场”从校园转向职场，晚婚比早婚更有可能出现异族通婚。同样，当面临严重的婚姻挤压时，女性将被迫与外族通婚。利用1983年人口普查的数据，我们对不同出生队列中来自亚非裔和欧美裔的女性的择偶情况进行了建模。结果并未完全支持我们的假设：我们发现，结婚年龄本身并不会增加族际通婚。
