What a Difference a Term Makes: The Effect of Educational Attainment on Marital Outcomes in the UK

چکیده
In the past, students in England and Wales born within the first five months of the academic year could leave school one term earlier than those born later in the year. Focusing on women, those who were required to stay on an extra term more frequently hold some academic qualification. Using having been required to stay on as an exogenous factor affecting academic attainment, we find that holding a low level academic qualification has no effect on the probability of being currently married for women aged 25 or above, but increases the probability of the husband holding some academic qualification and being economically active.
