본 연구는 2000년 국민주택총조사 자료(2% 샘플)를 사용하여 기혼 응답자 중 본인과 배우자의 학력 결합유형에 대해 살펴보았다. 21-70세 응답자를 10년 단위로 5개 연령대별 결혼유형을 분석한 결과는 전체 결혼에서 동일한 학력을 가진 배우자와 결혼하는 동질혼이 65%, 자신보다 고학력인 남성과 결혼하는 여성 상승혼이 30%로 이 두 유형이 전체 결혼유형의 90%를 설명하는 것으로 나타났다. 교육동질혼 경향은 모든 연령대에서 강하게 나타났으며, 교육 수준을 초등학교, 중학교, 고등학교, 대학 이상(전문대 포함)으로 구분하여 동질혼을 비교했을 때, 초등학교와 대학 이상 그룹에서 동질혼의 비율이 매우 높았다. 이러한 동질혼 경향은 젊은 세대로 갈수록 증가하였다. 그러나 여성의 상승혼은 젊은 연령대로 갈수록 감소함을 알 수 있었다.

The advancement of information and transportation technologies in the context of economic and cultural globalization facilitates international marriages. However, it is ironic that image and fantasies play a significant role in the actual process of these marriages. Using data from a national survey conducted in 2006 (Survey for the Conjugal Life of the International Marriage Families) this study examines the experiences of Korean men and foreign wives. The findings confirm the negative impacts on marital satisfaction of the spousal image of hypergamy (i.e., imaginings of a high-earning husband and a submissive wife) and abbreviated marriage processes (i.e., broker-mediated marriage and incorrect information about a future spouse), but the detailed patterns differ by gender and by the ethnic origin of the wife. Korean Chinese (and to a lesser extent Han Chinese) wives are more negatively affected by the marriage process and spousal imaginings than are Southeast Asians and 'other' wives. While Southeast Asian wives are more likely to have received incorrect information about their husbands, they show significantly more flexible attitudes toward the marriage and spouses. Unification Church members are excluded from the analysis because their marital lives are distinctive enough to warrant separate research. As previous qualitative findings suggested, some Korean Chinese wives seem to perceive that returnees to the home country deserve an improvement in economic status as opposed to the disappointing reality. Imagining a submissive wife hurts the marital satisfaction of husbands regardless of the ethnic origin of the wife.
