Resumen
ESTEVE PALOS, Albert. Trends in Educational Homogamy in Mexico: 1970-2000. Estud. demogr. urbanos [online]. 2005, vol.20, n.2, pp.341-362. Epub 20-Ene-2020. ISSN 2448-6515. https://doi.org/10.24201/edu.v20i2.1221.
On the basis of microdata from Mexican censuses taken in 1970, 1990 and 2000, this article examines the homogeny of marriages and consensual marriages by level of spousal educational attainment over the past three decades, characterized by the enormous expansion of schooling, the increase in educational performance and the progressive reduction in gender differences in educational matters. Three conclusions emerge from the examination of the data: the significant increase in homogamy among those with the highest levels of educational attainment, the consolidation of two extended zones of homogamy and the reduction of differences between the way men and women incorporate education in the selection of marriage partners.
