Temporal and regional variation in the strength of educational homogamy

Article Abstract:

The authors of this article analyze and critique Smits, Ultee, and Lammers' study of educational levels and marriage patterns in 65 countries which provides a conclusion stating educational homogamy relies on the level of industrialization and economic development in a country. The authors of the article offer a more in depth analysis by focusing on marriage patterns in China, Japan, and Taiwan in two periods of time and compared the results to that of the United States and find that educational homogamy declines with economic development.

The loglinear modeling of interstate migration: some additional considerations

Article Abstract:

A comment on Herting et al.'s article 'Trends in Social Geography of Inter-State Mobility and Persistence: 1935-40 to 1985-90' is presented. The authors use variants of loglinear models to analyze interstate migration streams based on the 1980 US census. Their models are effective in determining patterns of regional affinity and disaffinity by considering three levels of social geography that include categories of regions, subregions and states. Four extensions to Herting et al.'s models are discussed.

More or less educational homogamy? A test of different versions of modernization theory using cross-temporal evidence for 60 countries

Article Abstract:

This article discusses modernization and its relation to educational homogamy. The authors find that in Confucian countries levels of educational homogamy are rather high in comparison with other countries. They also argue that educational homogamy relies on both the level of modernization and the rate of modernization: the faster the rate the less educational homogamy existed.
