“…Compared to the developed world and even other Latin American countries, Brazil was slow to provide broad access to basic education. In 1960, only 30% of the population aged 21-25 had completed primary education (Ribeiro, Ceneviva, & Brito, 2019) and only in the 1990s the school enrollment rate for children surpassed 90% (Lam & Marteleto, 2002).…”

“…Completion of upper secondary education is still far from universal, but among people of 21 to 25 years of age it increased from about 5% in 1960 to a little more than 50% in 2010 (Ribeiro et al, 2019). Fulfilling the demands of upper classes already served by secondary education, higher education had a first wave of growth in the 1970s.…”

Using both census and survey data, this study analyzes educational assortative mating trends over half a century in Brazil. Odds of both overall and group-specific homogamy, as well as odds of crossing educational barriers, are estimated. Results suggest that, after four decades of continuous decline, overall homogamy increased in the first decade of this century. This rebound stems from a shift in the balance between long-standing opposite trends: increasing odds of intermarriage among lower educational levels and more homogamy at the top of the educational distribution. The findings are interpreted in the light of several social, economic and demographic changes that are relevant to union formation. Particularly, I argue that, starting from a population with very low levels of schooling, educational expansion could initially have only a limited effect on marriage markets. As the expansion reached upper secondary and higher education, it has strengthened the link between schooling and partner choice, thus fostering homogamy.

“…Knowing whether parent involvement in education supports children's achievement in Brazil has important consequences for children's development across the life course, including their eventual careers, earnings, and standard of living. Parent involvement research to date in Brazil has examined how parents' investment of financial resources (e.g., paying for private education) impacts achievement (e.g., Guimarães & Sampaio, 2013; Ribeiro et al, 2019; Torche & Costa‐Ribeiro, 2012). More research is needed on how Brazilian parents' involvement may affect student achievement.…”
