Researcher says education may help marriage chances
The Associated Press
WASHINGTON — Going to college no longer dims a woman's chances for marriage and family. Additional schooling, in fact, is likely to increase her matrimonial prospects, a new study says.
Census Bureau researcher Jeanne E. Moorman reported Tuesday that the negative association between marriage and education seemed to be diminishing, and, in coming years, "more highly educated women will be more likely to marry."
In terms of combining marriage with education and careers, women are learning to behave more like men and no longer must choose among those options. Moorman said.
"There is no reason to expect that we have to do both, just as men have always done."
Her findings differ sharply from a study published by Yale University
researchers last year that indicated that women's marriage prospects dimmed as they pursued educations and careers.
Although better-educated women have had lower marriage rates than those with less schooling in past years, the negative association between education and marriage appears on the verge of ending or reversing. Moorman reported in her study, "The History and the Future of the Relationship Between Education and Marriage."
Moorman found that while going to college may delay marriage, it seemed likely to improve a woman's prospects for eventually being wed.
That, she said, is because higher education is becoming more the norm than the exception for women, allowing education to become a more common part of their lives and to blend with family and marriage.
Women in the 30 to 35 age group may well be the last group for which
a negative relationship between education and marriage will exist, she said, and even for them the effect is minimal.
Moorman launched her research last year, after the widely publicized study by Yale sociologist Neil Bennett found that if a college woman wasn't wed by age 30, she stood little chance of ever being married.
Bennett speculated that women had begun sacrificing marriage for their careers and educations and suggested that college-educated women who reached the age of 30 without marrying stood only a 20 percent chance of ever being wed.
Moorman, also analyzing Census Bureau statistics, concluded that those women actually had a 66 percent chance of finding a husband.
The fact that women have been marrying at lower rates as they go to college and begin working is widely documented.
