Notes

  1. 1.

    A few recent studies have begun to grapple with this question, interpreting evidence of overall growth in educational hypogamy, combined with an increase in educational homogamy among highly educated women, as evidence that “the social and economic boundaries between lower-ranked universities and technical colleges may be declining among younger cohorts” (Fukuda et al. 2020: 1393).
