To examine these relationships, 28 years of longitudinal data from the British Columbia Paths on Life’s Way project are employed. First, changes in marital status, educational completion, and homogamy are examined with the goal of defining these constructs more precisely. Through descriptive statistics, the relationship between educational attainment and related homogamy levels of Paths respondents and their parents is established. Then, the technique of correspondence analysis is used to determine the relationship between assortative mating and the nature and extent of inequality experienced by Paths respondents. Findings reveal that educational homogamy and its intergenerational associations exist and the extent to which it exacerbates inequality in terms of family income levels, contributions to registered investment plans, and physical, mental, and financial well-being in the sample. The findings of this article highlight the value of a post-secondary education in relation to marriage strategies, and the reproduction of inequalities.  \nKeywords: educational homogamy, higher education, inequality, gender, assortative mating, correspondence analysis  \nRésumé  \nL’objectif de cet article est d’examiner si les modèles d’homogamie éducative sont associés de manière intergénérationnelle, dans quelle mesure les couples d’aujourd’hui sont homogames et comment cela se traduit dans les niveaux de revenu familial et de bien-être financier et général. Pour examiner ces relations, 28 années de données longitudinales provenant du projet Paths on Life’s Way de la Colombie-Britannique (Canada) sont utilisées. Tout d’abord, les changements dans l’état matrimonial, l’achèvement des études et l’homogamie sont examinés dans le but de définir plus précisément ces concepts. Grâce à des statistiques descriptives, la relation entre le niveau d’éducation et le niveau d’homogamie des répondants du projet Pathset de leurs parents est établie. Ensuite, la technique de l’analyse des correspondances est utilisée pour déterminer la relation entre l’appariement assortatif et la nature et l’étendue de l’inégalité vécue par les répondants de Paths. Les résultats révèlent l’existence de l’homogamie éducative et de ses associations intergénérationnelles, ainsi que la mesure dans laquelle elle exacerbe les inégalités en matière de niveaux de revenus familiaux, de contributions aux régimes enregistrés d’investissementet de bien-être physique, mental et financier dans l’échantillon. L’article conclut en proposant des recommandations pour aborder la manière dont l’homogamie éducative accentue les inégalités.  \nMots-clés : homogamie éducative, enseignement supérieur, inégalité, genre, appariement assortatif, analyse des correspondances  \nIntroduction  \nConsiderable recent attention in the media, by policymakers, and in the research literature has been focused  \non inequality. One identified source of increasing inequality is that of assortative marriage1 and relationship patterns (Ciscato & Weber, 2020; Clark, 2014; Green et al. , 2016; Milanovic, 2016; Organisation for Economic  \nCanadian Journal of Higher Education | Revue canadienne d’enseignement supérieur 52:1 (2022)   \nCo-operation and Development [OECD], 2017; Picketty, 2020) . Historically in western countries, men were more likely to be more highly educated than their wives and, as such, households were more heterogamous in nature. Today, several studies demonstrate that there is a trend toward more educationally homogamous (similar) household formation, particularly among those with higher levels of education (Hou & Myles, 2008; Schwartz, ","cbCailJq9wYYcyWs","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCailJq9wYYcyWs","pdf",285147,"English","# Abstract\n# Résumé\n# Introduction","[{\"question\":\"What does the article examine about educational homogamy and couples?\",\"answer\":\"It examines whether educational homogamy is associated intergenerationally, how homogamous today’s couples are, and how these patterns relate to family income and well-being.\"},{\"question\":\"What data and methods are used to test the relationships?\",\"answer\":\"The study uses 28 years of longitudinal data from the British Columbia Paths on Life’s Way project, combining descriptive statistics and correspondence analysis.\"},{\"question\":\"What findings link educational homogamy to inequality?\",\"answer\":\"The results indicate that educational homogamy and its intergenerational associations exist and can exacerbate inequality in family income levels, registered investment plan contributions, and physical, mental, and financial well-being.\"}]","Higher Education and the Marriage Market - Educational Attainment, Educational Homogamy, and Inequality | PDF",1792084087,48]
