Samenvatting

In this study we determine the degree of educational homogamy for 65 countries. Next, we explain the differences in educational homogamy between these countries in terms of the level of development, political democracy, dominant religion and the cultural heritage from pre-industrial times. Between level of development and educational homogamy an inverse-U-curve relationship is found. Furthermore, dominant religion and the cultural heritage from pre-industrial time are found to be important explanatory variables. Catholic and Confucian countries show significantly more educational homogamy than Protestant countries, and industrializing horticultural societies show significantly less educational homogamy than industrializing agrarian countries.
