abstract: 'This study examines the effects of inequalities in the lower, rather
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
than the upper, tail of wage distribution due to a declining labor
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
market on marriage behaviors based on gender in Japan. I apply a median
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
preserving spread to a marriage search model and then empirically
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
analyze the theoretical hypothesis for cross-gender marriage behaviors
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
using extensive individual Japanese data from the Employment Status
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Survey. The theoretical and empirical results show that both genders''
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
wage inequalities in the lower tail have positive and statistically
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
significant effects on increasing the probability of unmarried people
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
across both genders. Female wage inequality in the upper tail also has a
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
significant positive effect on the probability of unmarried men. On the
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
other hand, an increase in male unemployment rates have positive and
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
significant effects on the probability of unmarried women, even after
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
controlling with wage inequality indices. In addition, the median wage
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
for women has a significant and negative effect on the probability of
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
unmarried men. These results highlight the policies to increase wages in
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
the lower income class for both genders and to address unemployment for
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
men in order to raise marriage rates. (C) 2017 Elsevier Inc. All rights
