abstract: 'Demographic explanations for the rise in household income inequality
include increased educational assortative mating and changes in the
division of paid labour within families. Building on this research, the
current study focuses on the connected nature of these two
inequality-producing mechanisms, while at the same time bridging the
divide with the economic literature on the role of income
differentiation. Drawing on the 2004-2008 European Union Statistics on
Income and Living Conditions, we consider variation across Europe in the
disequalising effect of educational assortative mating and relate these
patterns to the general characteristics of welfare state regimes,
focusing on the degree of gender equality and income differentiation.
First, we document large educational differentials in men''s and women''s
income in Eastern Europe, and smaller differentials in Anglo-Saxon,
Continental and, especially, Northern Europe. Next, we find that this
variation in gender equality and income differentiation parallels
variation in the potential contribution of educational assortative
mating to educational differentiation in household income. While all
countries display larger educational differentials in household income
under the scenario of 100\% educational homogamy, the biggest
differences are found in Eastern Europe, and the smallest differences in
the Nordic countries. These results suggest that educational assortative
mating is less disequalising in countries with more gender equality and
support for equal opportunities.'
