Working Late
分析工作场所性别比例与伴侣关系形成和解体的关联,发现异性同事比例越高,伴侣解体风险越大,但对单身者进入伴侣关系的概率影响不大。
In this paper, I analyze the association between workplace sex ratios and partnership formation and dissolution. I find that the risk of dissolution increases with the fraction of coworkers of the opposite sex at both the female and male workplace. On the other hand, workplace sex ratios are not important for the overall transition rate from singlehood to partnership. The results suggest that the workplace constitutes a more important marriage market segment for individuals who are already in a partnership, presumably due to higher search cost for (alternative) partners in general.
