Rodríguez González, Ana2025-02-242025-02-242024https://hdl.handle.net/2445/219152Men’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 increasing mismatch between the educational distributions of men and women, and might have negative consequences for low-educated men’s mental health.50 p.application/pdfengcc-by-nc-nd, (c) Rodríguez González et al., 2024http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/3.0/es/Diferències entre sexes en l'educacióSistema educatiuEducació familiarSex differences in educationInstructional systemsDomestic educationinfo:eu-repo/semantics/workingPaperinfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess
