东亚和东南亚低生育率国家晚婚和少婚的长期趋势一直持续到21世纪初，在日本、韩国和台湾确实加速了这种趋势。这篇文章考察了这在多大程度上是贯穿所有教育水平群体的普遍趋势，以及在以单身水平较高为特征的教育类别中比例增加的程度(就女性而言，教育水平较高)。在单身人数上升幅度最大的国家，教育结构的变化对女性的影响相对较小。对于男性来说，在所有接受调查的国家中，它只起到了很小的作用，或者实际上对日益增长的单身起到了不利作用。这篇论文分析了这些趋势的可能原因。
The long-term trend towards later and less marriage in the low-fertility countries of East and Southeast Asia has continued into the early years of the twenty-first century, and indeed accelerated in Japan, South Korea and Taiwan. This paper examines the extent to which this is a general trend cutting across all educational attainment groups, and the extent to which it can be explained by increasing proportions in the educational categories characterized by higher levels of singlehood (in the case of females, the higher levels of education). In the countries where the rise in singlehood has been the steepest, changing educational composition has played a relatively minor role in the case of women. For men, in all countries examined, it has played only a minor role, or actually worked against rising singlehood. The paper examines likely reasons for these trends.
