1960年结婚率几乎没有差别:大学毕业和高中毕业生的结婚率只相差4个百分点。佩尤研究中心称这个差别已经到16%。今年春天,人口调查局发表的分析称新娘拥有一个大学学位的可能性比九十年代中期时大了很多。
Marriage has become much more selective, and thats why the divorce rate has come down,said Bradford Wilcox, director of the National Marriage Project at the University of Virginia inCharlottesville. The project found that divorce rates for couples with college degrees are only athird as high as for those with a high-school degree.
位于夏洛茨维尔的弗吉尼亚大学的国家婚姻研究项目主任W. 布拉德福德?维尔科斯称:选择结婚对象时更加地精挑细选,这就是为什么离婚率降低了。该研究项目发现双方都拥有大学学位的夫妇的离婚率是那些只有一方有高中学位夫妇的三分之一。
Americans with a high-school degree or less tellresearchers they would like to marry, but do not believe they can afford it. Instead, they raisechildren out of wedlock. Only 6% of children born to college-educated mothers were bornoutside marriage, according to the National Marriage Project. That compares with 44% of babiesborn to mothers whose education ended with high school.
学历为高中或更低水平的美国人告诉研究者他们想结婚,但是认为自己不能承担婚姻的责任。于是,他们抚养非婚生子女。国家婚姻研究项目称接受过大学教育的母亲的子女中只有6%是非婚生。这个数字在母亲是高中毕业的子女中为44%。
