초록

본 연구는 2000년 국민주택총조사 자료(2% 샘플)를 사용하여 기혼 응답자 중 본인과 배우자의 학력 결합유형에 대해 살펴보았다. 21-70세 응답자를 10년 단위로 5개 연령대별 결혼유형을 분석한 결과는 전체 결혼에서 동일한 학력을 가진 배우자와 결혼하는 동질혼이 65%, 자신보다 고학력인 남성과 결혼하는 여성 상승혼이 30%로 이 두 유형이 전체 결혼유형의 90%를 설명하는 것으로 나타났다. 교육동질혼 경향은 모든 연령대에서 강하게 나타났으며, 교육 수준을 초등학교, 중학교, 고등학교, 대학 이상(전문대 포함)으로 구분하여 동질혼을 비교했을 때, 초등학교와 대학 이상 그룹에서 동질혼의 비율이 매우 높았다. 이러한 동질혼 경향은 젊은 세대로 갈수록 증가하였다. 그러나 여성의 상승혼은 젊은 연령대로 갈수록 감소함을 알 수 있었다.

This paper examines the relationship between education and marriage in South Korea, based on a 2 percent data of the 2000 census. The result found strong educational homogamy and wife-hypergamy over the five age cohort, 21-30, 31-40, 41-50, 51-60, and 61-70. For the primary, junior secondary, upper secondary and tertiary educational levels, the chance of marrying within the same educational level was stronger for primary and tertiary education. In terms of trends, the educational homogamy increased across the four cohorts. We note that while upward marriage was stronger for women (hypergamy), it decreased over time.
