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
