Article Synopsis
- This paper examines how couple formation and assortative mating impact societal structures, using data from 1700 to 1910 to analyze trends in the U.S. with a focus on migration backgrounds and age at marriage.
- It identifies three main findings: significant changes in mating trends over time, diversity in these patterns across social groups, and differing interpretations based on individual versus familial perspectives.
- The study also discusses the pros and cons of using online genealogical databases, emphasizing their potential for new insights despite challenges related to data quality and representativeness.
Article Synopsis
- The research analyzes lifespan inequality and family connections in longevity in the U.S. from the 18th to the 20th century, casting a wider net beyond just parent-child relationships to include multiple generations and various relatives.
- The study reveals that while lifespan inequality has decreased over time, family-based disparities in lifespan, especially between parents and children, remain significant and may even be strengthening.
- The findings also shed light on the usefulness of online crowdsourced genealogical data, stressing the importance of selecting high-quality information for better representation in research.
The paper investigates the relationship between structural partner market constraints and the timing and educational sorting of unions in Germany (1985-2018). We integrate the literature on the effect of the reversed gender gap in education on educational assortative mating, with a focus on mating dynamics and the measurement of the partner market over the life course. We concentrate on two particular educational groups, low-educated men and highly educated women, those with worsening mating prospects and more subject to experience hypogamous unions.
