The Effect of Early Marriage on the Educational Attainment of Young Men Journal of Marriage and Family 41,1 (February 1979): 97-107. Also: http://www.jstor.org/stable/351735 Cohort(s): Young Men Publisher: National Council on Family Relations Keyword(s): Educational Aspirations/Expectations; Educational Attainment; High School; I.Q.; Marriage; Teenagers In this study, the effects of early marriage are assessed within a multivariate model of educational attainment. Seven separate subsamples of young males are analyzed with respect to race and age, who were unmarried and in school in 1966. By 1970, those in the younger age cohorts of both races who had married in the interim had significantly less education, even after the effects of a powerful set of other predictive variables are considered. Prior educational attainment as well as age at marriage are important variables; age at marriage appears to have a depressing effect for those in high school at age 17 but not for those in college at the same age. |
