Abstract

In the real world, the number of couples with different levels of education is on the rise, so it is important to look at the consequences on marriage. To do the research, the tool we use is Stata. We set two regression lines: the first one tests the correlation between divorce, separation, and couples with different levels of education, and the second one tests whether the husband with a higher education level has different extent effect on causing the divorce and separation compared to the situation that wife has higher education level. From the results, we have two main findings. Firstly, there is a positive relationship between different education levels of couples and divorce, separation. Secondly, if the wife has a higher education level than the husband, there is a higher probability of divorce, separation. In the end, we give a further discussion on results to try to explain such phenomenon.
