Opportunities to Meet: Occupational Education and Marriage Formation in Young Adulthood Demography 51,4 (August 2014): 1319-1344. Also: http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/24980386 Cohort(s): NLSY97 Publisher: Population Association of America Keyword(s): Educational Attainment; Marriage; Modeling, Hazard/Event History/Survival/Duration; Occupational Information Network (O*NET); Occupations Permission to reprint the abstract has not been received from the publisher. We focus on work--and the social ties that it supports--and consider whether the educational composition of occupations is important for marriage formation during young adulthood. Employing discrete-time event-history methods using the NLSY-97, we find that occupational education is positively associated with transitioning to first marriage and with marrying a college-educated partner for women but not for men. |
