The economics of marriage
Excerpts from Tim Harford’s new book, The Logic of Life. - By Tim Harford - Slate Magazine
Charles and Luoh show that young black women facing a shortage of men try to increase their attractiveness as marriage prospects. The more men are in prison, the more likely women are to get themselves a job, and the more likely they are to go to college. College-educated people are much more likely to marry other college-educated people, so an education doesn’t just make you smart, it wins you a smart husband or wife.
