We just published this open access review paper on SES inequality in family formation and dissolution in Central and Eastern Europe. We identified several promising RQ and hypotheses for others to examine. Especially with the new @ggp.bsky.social data. compass.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10....

📢 We find that shifts in the gender imbalance in education promoted rising hypogamy and declining hypergamy. Yet, if the gender-education association had remained constant, educational expansion would have also led to changes in hypogamy and hypergamy. www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...
