This paper considers for the first time whether there is school-type homogamy, and whether for women there are significant advantages from private schooling as a consequence of school-type homogamy. Its focus is Britain, where a private education is associated with substantial labour market advantages and where access is socially exclusive. We find that privately educated women are 7 percentage points more likely than observably similar state-educated women to marry privately educated men. Privately educated married women have husbands who earn 15% higher pay, according to the BHPS-UKHLS panel (20% at age 42, according to the British Cohort Study). Causation is not established and considerable caution would be needed if interpreting these associations as reflecting causal effects from private schools. The findings nevertheless raise anew the issue of the negative association between Britain’s private schooling and social mobility.

私立学校的女孩结婚有钱吗？

本文首次考虑是否存在学校型的同性，以及对于妇女而言，由于学校型的同性，私立学校是否具有明显的优势。它的重点是英国，在那里，私立教育与劳动力市场上的巨大优势相关，而获得教育是社会排斥的。我们发现，受过私人教育的女性与接受过私人教育的男性结婚的可能性比明显受过类似教育的国家妇女高7个百分点。根据BHPS-UKHLS小组的调查，受过私人教育的已婚妇女的丈夫的工资要高15％（根据英国队列研究的数据，在42岁时为20％）。因果关系尚未建立，如果将这些联系解释为反映私立学校的因果关系，则需要谨慎行事。
