同性婚姻在多大程度上对不平等以及婚姻所产生的子女的结果很重要。在本文中，我们提出的证据表明，在英国的家庭不平等的变化及其影响。我们的方法与文献中的其他方法形成对比，因为它与婚姻市场的基本模型是一致的。我们认为，这种方法的一个关键优势是，它创建了一个直接的联系之间的变化，在婚姻的不确定性和婚姻的价值变化的各种可能的匹配教育组。我们的实证结果并没有显示出一个明确的方向，在英国的出生队列之间的1945-54年和1965-74年的生育率的变化。我们发现，自主性的变化略微推高了收入不平等，但两个队列中教育程度的强烈变化有助于缩小不平等。
The extent to which like‐with‐like marry is important for inequality as well as for the outcomes of children who result from the union. In this paper, we present evidence on changes in assortative mating and its implications for household inequality in the UK. Our approach contrasts with others in the literature in that it is consistent with an underlying model of the marriage market. We argue that a key advantage of this approach is that it creates a direct connection between changes in assortativeness in marriage and changes in the value of marriage for the various possible matches by education group. Our empirical results do not show a clear direction of change in assortativeness in the UK between the birth cohorts of 1945–54 and 1965–74. We find that changes in assortativeness pushed income inequality up slightly, but that the strong changes in education attainment across the two cohorts contributed to scale down inequality.
