In this book, research on educational assortative mating in Japan is summarized and updated. This book contributes to research on the demography of contemporary Japan by overviewing theoretical and empirical linkages between marriage behavior and processes of social and economic stratification. It also extends the large body of research on assortative mating and stratification by incorporating insights from the understudied context of Japan. The authors draw upon multiple data sources ? both survey and administrative data ? to update and extend previous research on ?who marries whom? in Japan. The wide range of consequences considered includes income inequality, the intergenerational transmission of advantage and disadvantage, marriage and fertility timing, lifelong singlehood, childlessness, and the family roles of husbands and wives. Throughout the manuscript, Japan is considered in comparative perspective by employing the large USA and international literatures on assortative mating. 410 0$aPopulation Studies of Japan,$x2198-2732 606 $aDemography 606 $aPopulation 606 $aPopulation$xEconomic aspects 606 $aPopulation genetics 606 $aBiotic communities 606 $aPopulation biology 606 $aPopulation and Demography 606 $aPopulation Economics 606 $aPopulation Genetics 606 $aCommunity and Population Ecology 615 0$aDemography. 615 0$aPopulation. 615 0$aPopulation$xEconomic aspects. 615 0$aPopulation genetics. 615 0$aBiotic communities. 615 0$aPopulation biology. 615 14$aPopulation and Demography. 615 24$aPopulation Economics. 615 24$aPopulation Genetics. 615 24$aCommunity and Population Ecology. 676 $a646.77 700 $aUchikoshi$b Fumiya$0853114 702 $aRaymo$b James M. 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910502622103321 996 $aEducational assortative mating in Japan$92874612 997 $aUNINA
