Diferencias de género en la edad del primer matrimonio: una evidencia desde los modelos de búsqueda marital para Colombia
Gender differences and age at first marriage: Evindece formarital search models for colombian men and women
Abstract (en)
This study aims to establish how the decision to marry is affected by family socio-economic environment that favors the accumulation of human capital and the economic role transition to adulthood. It also evaluates whether gender differences in the characteristics of entry into marriage decrease as the differences are reduced in the economic status of men and women. To this end, a duration model of marital search is fit to assess whether these variables explain the decision of Colombian men and women to get married or begin de facto unions at a certain age. It is found that higher educational opportunities and job placement reduces the differences in marital behavior between men and women generating, in both cases, incentives to delay marriages as predicted by marital search models.Abstract (es)
Este estudio pretende establecer de qué manera la decisión de casarse se ve afectada por un entorno socioeconómico familiar que favorece la acumulación de capital humano y por la transición hacia el rol económico de la adultez. Se evalúa si las diferencias de género en las características de entrada al matrimonio disminuyen a medida que se reducen las diferencias en el estatus económico de hombres y mujeres. Con este propósito, se estima un modelo de duración de la búsqueda marital para evaluar si estas variables explican la decisión de hombres y mujeres colombianos de casarse o comenzar uniones de hecho a determinada edad. Mayores posibilidades de educación e inserción laboral femenina reducen las diferencias en el comportamiento matrimonial entre hombres y mujeres generando incentivos a postergar las uniones.
