This study examines the changing effects of non-family activities on the age of transition to first marriage in four cohorts of individuals across 45 years in the Chitwan Valley, Nepal. The results indicate that school enrolment had a negative effect on both men's and women's marriage rates, while total years of schooling had a positive effect on men's marriage rates. Non-family employment experiences increased marriage rates for men only. Analysing the effects of schooling and employment over time suggests that school enrolment became a growing deterrent to marriage for both sexes, and that non-family employment became an increasingly desirable attribute in men. The results are consistent with changing views about sex roles and schooling over time in the region, as the roles of student and spouse became more distinct. The results also suggest an increasing integration of husbands in the non-family labour market.
本研究考察了尼泊尔奇旺山谷45年间四代人的非家庭活动对初婚年龄变化的影响。结果表明，入学对男性和女性的结婚率均有负面影响，而受教育总年限对男性结婚率有正面影响。非家庭工作经历仅提高了男性的结婚率。对教育和工作随时间变化的影响进行分析表明，入学对两性来说都越来越成为结婚的阻碍，而非家庭工作对男性来说越来越成为一项令人向往的特质。这些结果与该地区随着时间推移对性别角色和教育的观念变化相一致，因为学生和配偶的角色变得更加分明。结果还表明丈夫在非家庭劳动力市场中的参与度日益提高。
