Interesting article. It is suggesting there is a smaller supply of marriageable men.
On the demand side, we are also seeing more and more educated, career focused women.
I feel like there are many who have a desire to have children and therefore would like to marry someone who can support them. Typically this means marrying a man who earns more than you. The thing is if you're a women, the more you earn, the smaller the marriageable pool becomes.
- daemin 9y agoWhich means there is more demand for upper educated men since they are in demand by both educated and uneducated women. As another commented has suggested this might not be an issue when gender roles get removed, but I have a sneaking suspicion that this will just leave both parties unsatisfied with the result. I would argue that innate biological differences contribute to the different gender based desires, and hence affect the different gender roles.
- nickthemagicman 9y agoIts the opposite for men. The more you make the wider your pool becomes.
