“…Enduring inequalities in outcomes tarnish the significant accomplishments of American educational institutions. The United States is not unique in this regard: Blossfeld and Shavit (1993) examined 13 industrialized nations and found that the relative likelihood of graduating from secondary school and entering higher education for people from different socioeconomic backgrounds has remained essentially the same over the past several decades despite an enormous expansion of educational capacity in all 13 nations. In the Netherlands and Sweden, where overall social inequality declined, so did the effects of social background on educational attainment.…”

“…Worldwide, the higher educational attainment population in developed countries is larger and more likely to break marriage barriers, while developing countries are more inclined to educational homogamy (Smits, 2003). The global expansion of education and the increase in the proportion of females participating in the labor market have unintentionally increased the positive match of education marriage (Erikson & Jonsson, 1996; Shavit & Blossfeld, 1993). Further comparison between developed and developing countries, in the 1850s, the proportion of educational homogamy in the United States was declining (Schwartz & Mare, 2005), while data from Canada and Spain showed that more youths chose educational homogamy (Hou & Myles, 2008).…”
