🔎 It examines how the relationship between flexible working time arrangements and self-reported work-to-life and life-to-work conflict is moderated by an (un)equal domestic labor distribution within heterosexual couples.

📢 We find that shifts in the gender imbalance in education promoted rising hypogamy and declining hypergamy. Yet, if the gender-education association had remained constant, educational expansion would have also led to changes in hypogamy and hypergamy.

In a shift, American women are now more likely to marry a less-educated man than men are to marry a less-educated woman. As one researcher told Stephanie H. Murray, “understanding the dynamics of these couples is key to understanding the future of marriage”:
