Abstract
|
|
|
This paper examines the relationship between age at marriage and fertility in Korea and also the relative importance of thirteen variables, including age at marriage and contraception, as determinants of fertility.
The first paper in this series showed that Jhere have been tremendous shifts in attitudes toward marriage from the tradition of early, universal, arranged marriage toward a more contemporary and liberal view that the partners themselves should have a leading role in the decisions whether, who and when to marry (Kim, 1974a). The second paper confirms that a major postponement in age at marriage has occurred, largely since 1945. Teenage marriages have almost disappeared and the average age (singulate mean age) of marriage is 25 to 26 years for women and 29 for men. Education is the major predictor of age at marriage; several other -variables each have a small but significant contribution to change (Kim, 1974b).
