Rodríguez González, Ana2026-02-112026-02-112025-10-080022-166Xhttps://hdl.handle.net/2445/226801Men’s historical advantage in educational attainment has recently been reversed in many countries. I study the implications for family formation of the new female advantage in education in the marriage market, exploiting a Finnish school reform that increased women’s relative level of education. I analyze the reduced-form relationship between marriage market exposure to the reform and family outcomes. I find decreases in marriage and fertility in marriage markets with a larger female educational advantage. These results are mostly driven by the mismatch between the educational distributions of men and women, and might have negative consequences for low-educated men’s mental health.1 p.application/pdfeng(c) University of Wisconsin, 2026Diferències entre sexes en l'educacióSistema educatiuEducació familiarEstudis de gènereSex differences in educationInstructional systemsDomestic educationGender studiesThe Impact of the Female Advantage in Education on the Familyinfo:eu-repo/semantics/article7610512026-02-11info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess
