We hypothesize that later marriages are more likely than early marriages to be heterogamous as the 'marriage market' shifts from school to the work-place. By the same token, when facing severe marriage squeezes women will be forced to out-marry. Employing data from the 1983 census, we model mate selection of women from Afro-Asian and Euro-American origin in various birth-cohorts. The results do not fully support our hypotheses: we find that in and of itself, age at marriage does not enhance ethnic heterogamy."

Using administrative panel data for the years 2005-2010, it traces the employment transitions of workers and their consequences, focusing on age and gender differences. The findings show that in Israel older workers, men and women alike, are indeed less likely to leave their jobs. However, once out of the labor force, they face difficulties in finding new employment. These difficulties are severer for women than for men. Male workers who experience high instability experience job losses, with no substantial age differences. The wage penalties for women are much lower, probably because of their limited opportunities in terms of earnings.

In addition patterns of mate selection can help predict changes in the social structure. For example increasing rates of ethnic intermarriage may indicate that ethnicity is losing its social significance and ethnic tensions are declining (e.g. Schmeltz et. al 1991). Increasing rates of educational homogamy may lead to greater educational inequality in the population because some children will benefit from having two educated parents while others will have none (Mare 1991). Thus, society’s patterns of assortative marriages mirror its past and its present, and shape its future.
